The IFC-Global Corporate Governance Forum (IFC-GCGF), the Indian School of Business (ISB), and the Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research (IGIDR), are organizing the 4th International Conference on Corporate Governance in Emerging Markets to be held at Hyderabad, INDIA on August 23-24, 2013. The conference series brings together researchers from around the world investigating the impact of corporate governance on firm performance and economic development, and the role of legal, economic and political institutions in shaping corporate governance systems in emerging markets. The conference series aims to facilitate dissemination of state of the art research on corporate governance in emerging markets with the objective of supporting policy and practice development. To this end the conference will provide a forum to discuss and solicit research from both theoretical and policy perspectives to improve corporate governance research. The conference will also provide an opportunity to inquire how academic research findings relate to practice in emerging markets by having leading practitioners as discussants.

The conference series is an undertaking of EMCGN (Emerging Markets Corporate Governance Research Network) chaired by Prof. Stijn Claessens of University of Amsterdam and IMF:
