Using the incidence of 24 governance rules, we construct a “Governance Index” to proxy for the level of shareholder rights at about These six provisions are called the “E-Index” (E for entrenchment), and while they (Bebchuk, Cohen, and Wang, 2012) found that both the G-Index and E-Index would have resulted in abnormal returns in the 1990s, the premium dissipated in the 2000s as the markets learned to distinguish between firms with good governance and those with poor Abstract. Gompers et al. [Gompers, P., Ishii, J., Metrick, A., 2003. Corporate governance and equity prices.

However, prior studies of individual takeover defenses, included in the G-Index, provide mixed evidence as to their ability to deter takeovers.
