Week 5 / Garnix L
In the first article, I edited the Institutional investor on Wikipedia by adding information on how institutional investors' unique organizational structures and regulatory frameworks enhance their ability to enforce better corporate governance practices and a citation titled “Institutional Investors and Corporate Governance” to support my explanation. The link is here diff. Through this process, I learned that institutional investors' roles as financial intermediaries not only position them differently from individual block holders but also provide them with distinct advantages in influencing corporate governance through their size and expertise.
In the second article, I edited the Shadow banking system on Wikipedia by adding a sentence highlighting the increased reliance on private equity and venture capital funding for early-stage high-tech companies due to changes in market expectations and provided a relative journal as a citation. The link is here diff. From this editing process, I learned that shadow banking in China is intricately linked to commercial banks and is subject to weaker regulatory oversight compared to traditional banking activities, which underscores the complexity and unique characteristics of the Chinese financial system.
