We investigate whether bondholder representation on boards can be an effective market discipline mechanism for reducing bank risk, using a unique dataset combining information on bondholders and boards of listed European banks. Our results show that the influence of bondholder representatives on bank boards significantly reduces bank risk without impacting profitability.

Although consumers rely on their activities to help construct their identity, antecedents and outcomes of consumer-activity identification (CAI) have not been elucidated. This research addresses this gap through the development of a conceptual model that is tested through two studies. Study 1 finds that CAI leads to consumer-brand identification (CBI). Further, CBI mediates the relationship between CAI and brand loyalty. Study 2 expands these findings by understanding the role of brand and activity social benefits as antecedents for CAI and CBI and including a second brand outcome: brand relationship continuance. Taken together, the results indicate that consumers indeed rely on the activities a brand is used within to construct their identity in addition to the brand.
