While research has shown that good stakeholder relations increase the value of a firm, less is known about how specific types of stakeholder governance affect firm value. Dr. Sinziana Dorobantu examines the value of one such governance mechanism - community benefits agreements (CBAs) signed by firms and local communities - intended to minimize social conflict that disrupts access to valuable resources.
