• Do political connections matter for firm innovation? Evidence from emerging markets in Central Asia and Eastern Europe (2020, background): “In addition, political connections may create agency problems in which governments take advantage of their position to intervene and appropriate or divert resources in order to pursue their own political goals (Sun et al. 2016; Sojli and Tham, 2017; Bertrand et al. 2018).”
• It’s who you know that counts: Board connectedness and CSR performance (2020, unknown): “It is also documented that CEOs or top executives have ties with government officials (Faccio, 2006) or politicians (Bertrand et al., 2018; Faccio et al., 2006) and that these ties could create value for the firm.”
