Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the effect of corporate governance on the relation between investor sentiment and corporate investment decisions. For this purpose, a sample of 106 firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during 2009 to 2014 is examined. This study uses Corporate Governance Index derived from a check list which contains twenty-one questions. To analyze data and test hypotheses, the multivariate regression model based on panel data is used. Findings show that investor sentiment has a significant effect on new investments and overinvestment level. Also, Corporate Governance Index has a significant impact on the relation of investor sentiment to new investment and overinvestment. In other words, in firms with a higher level of corporate governance, investor sentiment effect on corporate investment decisions is improved.
