摘要
本文基于委托代理理论、管家理论以及关系契约理论，以基尼系数作为董事会非正式层级清晰度，采用2010-2012年面板数据，验证深、沪两市上市公司董事会非正式层级清晰度对正式结构与会议频率的调节作用。结果发现：在不考虑非正式沟通时，董事长与总经理分离程度越高、董事会专业委员会设置程度越高，越需要召开更多的董事会会议以实现成员间的正式沟通；而当引入董事会非正式结构后，非正式层级清晰度负向调节两职设置和委员会设置对会议频率的正向影响。这意味着我国上市公司董事会成员的非正式沟通有助于缓解冲突、降低会议频率与治理成本。本研究的启发意义在于：在我国上市公司的资本市场约束力较低并存在差序格局的条件下，培养董事会成员间的信任关系、关注成员间的非正式沟通，将有助于降低董事会的治理成本。
