Ray Donnelly,Mark Mulcahy +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cross-sectional study of the relation between corporate governance and voluntary disclosure in Ireland is presented, and the authors conclude that while agency theory has some explanatory power for voluntary disclosure, it cannot explain all the crosssectional differences in voluntary disclosure by Irish public limited companies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Determinants Of Capital Structure: Some UK Evidence
M. Bennett,Ray Donnelly +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the cross-sectional variation in the capital structures of non-financial UK companies using proxy variables for characteristics suggested by capital structure theories was investigated and found that non-debt tax shields, asset structure, size and past profitability are related to capital structure in the manner suggested by theory.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Share Price Reaction of U.K. Exporters to Exchange Rate Movements: An Empirical Study
Ray Donnelly,Edward Sheehy +1 more
TL;DR: The authors found a contemporaneous relation between the foreign exchange rate and the market value of large exporters and found a weak lagged relationship which suggests that the stock market takes time to incorporate all of the implications of foreign currency movements into share prices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ray Donnelly,Caitriona Lynch +1 more
