The Revised Combined Code And Corporate Governance – An Empirical Study Of FTSE 350 Companies In The Travel And Leisure Industry

The author seeks to identify trends in compliance with the revised Combined Code of Corporate Governance in 2003 with emphasis on provisions regarding NEDs through the study of annual reports published for the 3 consecutive years after the implementation of the revised Combined Code of Corporate Governance. The compliance with revisions made to the Code in 2006 regarding the composition of the remuneration committee will also be accounted for. The results gathered will be discussed against theoretical frameworks to indicate whether companies are pursuing an agency theorist‟s perspective or a resource dependence theorist‟s perspective to the role of NEDs.

Ethnicity Wage Gaps - Economics with Econometrics Dissertation

This Economics Dissertation Asks What Are The Underlying Causes of Ethnicity Wage Gaps In The United Kingdom - Econometrics Ethnicity Wage Gaps Dissertation – Racial wage discrimination became illegal in the UK in 1965 with the Race Relations Act, in light of increased immigration after WWII. The law was later strengthened in 1968 and 1976. Yet despite criticism of the legislation in the wake of the Brixton riots of 1981, the inadequacy of labour market protections for ethnic minorities was not addressed until 2010 through the Equality Act. With little recent research into ethnicity pay gaps, unlike gender pay gaps (Metcalf, 2009), and even less research into how they have changed over time, this paper seeks to address this. Recent criticism of economic models by Spriggs (2020), in response to global anti-racism protests, has shown the need for a more objective approach to discrimination research. https://www.study-aids.co.uk/economics/ethnicity-wage-gaps-economics-with-econometrics-di...
