We investigate whether improvement in Brazilian corporate governance practices is related to better performance of companies measured in its diverse dimensions. Dummy variables were used to identify firms with level 2 or 3 ADR programs and to represent participation in level 2 or the "new market" level of differentiated practices of corporate governance established by the São Paulo Stock Exchange. Significant statistical relationships were obtained for both dummy variables in relation to the performance measures, suggesting that the adhesion to programs which require improved corporate governance practices is associated with corporate performance.

Every mortgage is different and every situation is unique," [Denis Brunet] said. "There are times when it makes sense, and times when it doesn't make sense.
FIXED OR VARIABLE: The interest rate for a new variable-rate mortgage is usually the bank's prime rate (2.5 per cent at the moment) plus three quarters or one per cent. So that means a rate as low as 3.25 per cent. Interest rates on fixed-rate mortgages are tied to the world's bond markets, and yields didn't come down on Tuesday when the Bank of Canada lowered its trend-setting overnight rate to 0.5 per cent and the chartered banks lowered their prime rates. But even without any reduction this week, the most popular fixed-term mortgage -- a five-year closed -- can still be had for as little as 4.19 per cent, brokers say. [Daryl Ha...

But the causes of our relative decline lie beyond the scope of city government.
The summit created an expensive cameo for Katz, but ignored the reality that the mayor has limited power. Merely the lead cheerleader, he can do little to restructure government. The hammer for reform lies in the legislature, the only vehicle for a comprehensive rewrite of the City of Winnipeg Act. Katz chose a cozy, "by invitation only" format -- a mistake in an extraordinarily tribal community with hierarchies of "ins" and "outs," where political c...
