This book was released on 2015 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We adopt a multi-theoretic approach to investigate a previously unexplored phenomenon in extant literature, namely the differential impact of ownership identity and director dominate shareholding on the performance of emerging market firms. The main research question addressed is, whether the impact of this relationship is conditional on the identity of the block investor. First, the relationship between overall block ownership and firm performance is tested by employing multiple regressions on 500 firm-year observations for the period from 2007 to 2011. Then, the block ownership is classified as the state, individuals, insiders, financial institutions, corporate and foreign investors and the influence of these identities on firm performance is examined. It was found that only the ownership categories such as the government, institutions and foreign ownership have positive influence on the firm performance. The results also indicate that high level of insider ownership also negatively associated with the firm performance. The main contribution of this paper is the examination of the relationship between block ownership and firm performance from the perspective of the identity of investors.
Download or read book The Causal Relationship Between Insider Ownership Owner Identity and Market Valuation Among the Largest European Companies written by Torben Pedersen and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The causal relationship between insider ownership and market valuation is tested by simultaneous estimation of the causes and effect of insider ownership among the largest continental European companies. Controlling for nation and industry effects insider ownership (measured by the fraction of "closely held" shares) is found to have a positive effect on market valuation (market-to-book values). And market valuation is found to have a positive feedback effect on the level of insider ownership. The findings provide empirical support for a theoretical model proposed by La Porta et al (1999). But the results are also found to be sensitive to owner identity: while a higher level of financial and corporate insider ownership is found to increase market valuation, family ownership has no significant effect, and a higher level of government ownership is found to reduce market valuation.
Download or read book Separating the Wealth and Entrenchment Effects of Insider Ownership on Investment Performance written by Klaus Peter Gugler and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article makes two important contributions to the literature on the incentive effects of insider ownership. First, it presents a clean method for separating the positive wealth effect of insider ownership from the negative entrenchment effect, which can be applied to samples of companies from the US and any other country. Second, it measures the effects of insider ownership using a measure of firm performance, namely a marginal q, which ensures that the causal relationship estimated runs from ownership to performance. The article applies this method to a large sample of publicly listed firms from the Anglo-Saxon and Civil law traditions and confirms that managerial entrenchment has an unambiguous negative effect on firm performance as measured by both Tobin's (average) q and our marginal q, and that the wealth effect of insider ownership is unambiguously positive for both measures. We also test for the effects of ownership concentration for other categories of owners and find that while institutional ownership improves the performance in the USA, financial institutions have a negative impact in other Anglo-Saxon countries and in Europe.

This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,7, Saint-Petersburg State University, language: English, abstract: If we take a look at some of the most notable buyouts that took place in the UK in the last decade, the evidence on the relationship between analyst following, insider ownership and the probability of being taken private is mixed. For example, in 2007 a US private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) acquired a Swiss pharmaceutical company Alliance Boots, which was at listed on the London Stock Exchange at the time of the deal. Alliance Boots had almost no insider ownership at that time (around one-hundredth of a percent) and had relatively few analysts following it considering its size. Conversely, in 2009 the management of Regent Inns, an owner of chains of bars and restaurants, stood ready to buy out the remaining stake in the troubled company, whilst already owning more than 50% of it. Notwithstanding the fact that Regent Inns was in shaky financial conditioned and majority management-owned, it was still followed by quite a lot of analysts (relative to its modest size). However, no definite conclusions can be made based on those isolated cases and it would be of interest to establish the relationship between analyst following, insider ownership and the probability of being bought out for UK firms by conducting an empirical study on the determinants of the probability of public-to-private deals. In our study we will also pay attention to other factors previously identified as important in the literature on this topic. This leads us naturally to our research question and research goal. In this study we answer the following research question ―Which factors are related to the probability of a company being taken private? The research goal is to establish the relationship between analyst following, insider ownership and the probability of it being bought out. In order to meet the research goal the following objectives were set: (1) Conduct a critical review of relevant literature on the topic; (2) Classify the determinants of public-to-private transactions; (3) Conduct an empirical study aimed at revealing the determinants of public-to-private transactions in the UK; (4) Analyse the results, make conclusions and suggest possible implications for investors and the stock exchange.
Download or read book The Effects of Insider and Blockholder Ownerships on Firm Performance written by Kwang Sing Ngui and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study tests the effect of insider and blockholder ownerships on firm performance. It argues that both parties influence firm performance through the adoption of internal governance mechanisms which reflect their investment interests. The sample consists of 177 firms listed on the Bursa Malaysia, with data gathered from their 2004 and 2005 annual reports. Statistical results support the hypothesis that board-related governance mechanisms and executive compensation mediate the relationship between the ownership variables and firm performance. Furthermore, insiders and blockholders were found to compete for board dominance, as each is driven to advance their interests. The fraction of insiders on board was found to exert the strongest positive effect on firm performance. This conforms to the stewardship theory which holds that insiders are in the strongest position to maximize firm wealth as they possess superior information about the firm.

Download or read book The International Evidence on Performance and Equity Ownership by Insiders Blockholders and Institutions written by Bruce Seifert and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the impact of equity ownership by insiders and the equity holdings of blockholders and institutions on firm performance. We examine these relationships using samples of firms from the U.S., the U.K., Germany, and Japan. Using piecewise linear regression, we find that insiders influence performance positively in all four countries. Our results suggest that insider ownership helps to align the interests of management with those of outside shareholders. We also do not find evidence that firm performance suffers as insiders own quot;largequot; amounts of stock. And finally, we do not observe an overall significant relationship between performance and equity ownership by blockholders or institutions.
Download or read book Insider Ownership Governance Mechanisms and Corporate Bond Pricing Around the World written by Rob Bauer and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We investigate the effect of insider ownership on corporate bond yield spreads from 2003 to 2014 using a sample of 10,470 bonds issued by 1,222 non-financial firms from 48 countries. We find that greater insider ownership is associated with higher yield spreads. This positive relationship holds after controlling for measures of risk-taking, which suggests that bondholders price-protect against greater insider ownership for reasons beyond insiders' heightened incentives to take risk. We consider consumption of private benefits as another economic channel through which insider ownership hurts bondholders. Using a global index of shareholder rights, we show that the positive association between insider ownership and the spread decreases for firms with relatively stronger shareholder rights, in which consumption of private benefits is less likely to occur. Furthermore, we present evidence that the probability of tunnelling, through related-party transactions, is larger in firms with more insider ownership. The positive relation between insider ownership holds even after excluding firms that deviate from the one-share-one-vote principle and firms with cross-ownership. We conclude that bondholders anticipate that greater insider ownership facilitates consumption of private benefits, with implications for the valuation of corporate debt around the world.
Download or read book The Impact of Insider Ownership Stake Changes at the IPO and Earnings Management on Post IPO Operating Performance written by Alex Leum Han and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past academic research reports that post-IPO operating performance can be signaled through or explained by company characteristics in a period immediately preceding or following the IPO. This paper examines whether post-IPO operating performance is correlated with earnings management activities immediately preceding and following the IPO, insider ownership retention rates after the IPO, and percentage of insider ownership changes at the IPO. I also test whether aggressive earnings managers experience worse operating performance measured by operating income over total assets than conservative earnings managers. The results from various regression analyses and t-tests in this paper show that earnings management activities immediately preceding and following the IPO and insider ownership retention rates are not correlated with post-IPO operating performance. However, this paper reports a statistically negative relationship between percentage of insider ownership changes at the IPO and post-IPO operating performance in the issue year.
Download or read book The Direction of Causality Between Insider Ownership and Market Valuation written by Torben Pedersen and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The causal relationship between insider ownership and market valuation is tested on a database of the largest EU and US companies. Using a Granger causality test insider ownership (measured by the fraction of closely held shares) is found to have a negative effect on market valuation (measured as the simple Tobin's Q ratio). And market valuation is found to have a negative effect on insider ownership. Consistent with an overall non-linear relationship as hypothesised by Morck et al. (1988) and Stultz (1988), the negative effect from insider ownership to performance is found to be significant only for companies with high initial levels of insider ownership, but insignificant for companies with low initial concentration levels. Furthermore, the effect on market valuation turns out to depend on system affiliation: it is only significant in continental Europe where average insider ownership is much higher than in the Anglo-American world (UK and US).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'One of the most powerful books in the social sciences ever written. ... A must-read' Thomas Piketty 'The twentieth century's most prophetic critic of capitalism' Prospect Karl Polanyi's landmark 1944 work is one of the earliest and most powerful critiques of unregulated markets. Tracing the history of capitalism from the great transformation of the industrial revolution onwards, he shows that there has been nothing 'natural' about the market state. Instead of reducing human relations and our environment to mere commodities, the economy must always be embedded in civil society. Describing the 'avalanche of social dislocation' of his time, Polanyi's hugely influential work is a passionate call to protect our common humanity. 'Polanyi's vision for an alternative economy re-embedded in politics and social relations offers a refreshing alternative' Guardian 'Polanyi exposes the myth of the free market' Joseph Stiglitz With a new introduction by Gareth Dale

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Development Report 2006: Equity and Opportunitypresents a social development strategy organized around the themes of social inclusion, cohesion, and accountability. It examines equality of opportunities--a potentially important factor affecting both the workings of the investment environment and the empowerment of the poor--by building on and extending existing accountability frameworks presented in the 2005Report. TheReportis divided into three parts. Part I describes patterns of inequality in a range of variables both at the national and global level-incomes, educational achievements, health indicators, power, and influence. Part II highlights reasons why some levels of inequality in the variables presented in Part I may be too high-whether for intrinsic reasons or because they harm the attainment of competing values, such as the level of goods and services in the economy. Part III discusses policies that affect the relationship between equity and the development process at a national and global level. This section includes policies that could help reduce the levels of some intermediate inequalities and focuses on circumstances in which these polices form the basis for more rapid overall development and faster poverty reduction. Now in its twenty-eighth edition, theWorld Development Reportoffers practical insights for policymakers, business developers, economic advisers, researchers, and professionals in the media and in non-governmental organizations. It is also an essential supplement to economic and development courses in both academic and professional settings.
