We use Ordinary Least Squares to analyze our data sets , and try to explore the effect of independent director system to operating performance . Besides, we also adopt Two-Stage Least Squares regression to discuss the effects of operating performance to independent director system. The empirical results appeared two important conclusions. First, independent directors indeed facilitate firms to enhance operating Performance.
