Abstract

The main objective of this research is to determine whether characteristics of the composition of the board of directors, such as percentage of women, board independence, or size and ownership concentration in the Latin American Integrated Market (MILA), contribute to the economic performance of companies. The ROA, ROE, and Tobin’s Q were used as performance measures. This study performs a regression analysis using the Tobit Model, with dynamic and static panel data with fixed effects, on a sample of 83 companies. Finally, evidence was found that both board size and ownership concentration influence the performance of companies.
