Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation analyzes restatements of financial statements and the use of cross-listed stock by foreign firms in acquisitions of U.S. firms. The first essay examines the components of the CEO's compensation: stock options, equity holdings, restricted stock and long-term incentive plans (LTIP) and their relation to misreporting. A unique feature of options is that it allows executives to benefit if the stock price increases, while mitigating their loss if the stock price decreases. This essay shows that incentives from option compensation are positively associated with misreporting. An increase in the equity and restricted stock component of compensation has no impact on incentives to engage in such risky accounting. The use of long-term incentive plans and restricted stock do not extend a manager2s horizon relative to the short-term focus induced by options. Finally, we examine the market reaction to the announcement of a restatement. It is more negative for those restating firms in which the exercise of options was greater during the misreported period, providing support for the idea that options provide a 1camouflage2 for insider trading. The second essay examines the role of cross-listed stock in foreign acquisitions of U.S. firms. By cross-listing, a foreign firm reduces its cost of an acquisition made with equity by enhancing the rights of its minority investors and by decreasing barriers to ownership of its shares by U.S. investors. Cross-listed firms using equity to finance an acquisition pay less than non cross-listed firms paying with cash. Despite this benefit, cross-listed firms use equity less often than U.S. firms. Cross-listed firms from countries with poorer investor protection use equity less often than those from countries with greater investor protection. Moreover, they pay a higher premium when using equity. We find evidence supporting Hansen's (1987) risk-sharing hypothesis that using equity in an acquisition enables the bidder to share the risk with the target that the bidder overpaid, as the target is forced to share in any post acquisition revaluation effects. Finally, we find that while non-cross-listed firms use favorable exchange rate movements to bid more aggressively, cross-listed firms do not.

Book excerpt: Abstract: Problems of endogeneity often cloud interpretation in corporate governance research. In this dissertation, I make use of changes in takeover laws as exogenous shocks to examine how managers react to a weakening of the corporate governance structure. In the first essay, I examine how the increased protection from hostile takeovers affects managerial incentives to change firm risk, while in the second essay I examine how firm size and firm investment behavior changes in response to the exogenous shocks. In both cases, I find that managers take actions that are beneficial to themselves but are detrimental to shareholders. Empirical evidence in the first essay show that risk-averse managers decrease firm risk in response to an exogenous increase in takeover protection in Delaware during the mid-1990s. I also find that the decrease in firm risk is concentrated among firms with low managerial equity-based incentives. Further, firms respond to the increased protection accorded by the regime shift by providing managers with greater incentives for risk-taking. Overall, the evidence supports the hypothesis that equity-based compensation can be used to align managerial interests with that of shareholders. In the second essay, I find that managers increase their firm size in response to the increased protection from hostile takeovers. The increase is predominantly among firms with low growth and high cash holdings which are exactly the firms where the agency costs of free cash flow are most costly to shareholders (Jensen, 1986). I also predict important differences in managerial empire-building through internal investments versus external acquisitions in the 1980s and 1990s based on changes in stocks and options-based incentives. Consistent with my predictions, managers prefer to empire-build through internal investments during the 1980s, while in 1990s they choose to grow more through external acquisitions.
