Rise Of Index Funds Leads To Deterioration Of Corporate Governance Study Reveals Index Funds Put Less Efforts In Monitoring Their Portfolio Firms, Resulted In Power Imbalance Between Investors And Firm Managements
Prof. Roni MICHAELY

Dr. Vera Wing-han YUEN
2020東京奧運落幕，這兩三周間世界各地運動健兒施展渾身解數爭標，雖然沒有現場觀眾，但世人透過電視屏幕，看到運動員的血與汗，比賽爭勝的殘酷，也看到比賽勝出的振奮人心和落敗的沮喪、識英雄重英雄的友誼等，賺人熱淚。能欣賞到這些精彩的畫面，有賴主辦單位大灑金錢組織這項體壇盛事。今天從經濟角度討論組織奧運的支出和收益。
