Abstract
Using a cross-sectional sample of yearly observations covering 132
countries over the 2007–2012 period, this article intends to provide
empirical evidence that country-level governance has an impact
on the strength of investor protection. Also, when proceeding to a
multiple regression analysis based on income classification, as defined
by the World Bank, one can observe a different behaviour of the
relationship between country-level governance (proxied using the
principal component analysis method) and the strength of investor
protection.
