Abstract

Although empirical scholarship dominates the field of law and finance, much of it shares a common vulnerability: an abiding faith in the accuracy and integrity of a small, specialized collection of corporate governance data. In this Article, we unveil a novel collection of three decades' worth of corporate charters for thousands of public companies, which shows that this faith is misplaced.
