Book Description
Himmelberg et al. (J. Financial Econom. 53 (1999) 353-384) argue that fixed effects estimators should be used in examination of the relationship between managerial ownership and firm performance. I show that managerial ownership, while substantially different across firms, typically changes slowly from year to year within a company. With rational managers maximising long-term utility, small, one-year changes in ownership are not likely to reflect notable changes in incentives that would lead to substantive within-year changes in performance. By relying on within variation, fixed effects estimators may not detect an effect of ownership on performance even if one exists.

Understanding the Determinants of Managerial Ownership and the Link Between Ownership and Performance
Author: Charles P. Himmelberg
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Corporate governance
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Both managerial ownership and performance are endogenously determined by exogenous (and only partly observed) changes in the firm's contracting environment. We extend the cross-sectional results of Demsetz and Lehn (1985) and use panel data to show that managerial ownership is explained by key variables in the contracting environment in ways consistent with the predictions of principal-agent models. A large fraction of the cross-sectional variation in managerial ownership is explained by unobserved firm heterogeneity. Moreover, after controlling both for observed firm characteristics and firm fixed effects, we cannot conclude (econometrically) that changes in managerial ownership affect firm performance.

Managerial Ownership and Firm Performance in German Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
Author: Alexandra Spitz
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
This paper studies the effect of managerial ownership on performance and the determinants of managerial ownership for small and medium-sized private companies. We use a panel of around 1300 firms in the German business-related service sector for the years 1997-2000. Managerial ownership up to around 80 percent has a positive impact on firm performance (incentive effect), for higher shares the effect becomes negative entrenchment effect). Moreover, risk-aversion of managers and signalling of firm quality leads to a non-linear relationship between managerial ownership and the risk exposure of a firm. The determinants of performance and ownership are estimated simultaneously.

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: sehr gut, University of Münster (Finance Center Münster), language: English, abstract: Many scholars have analyzed whether and how management share ownership should be used in terms of a corporate governance instrument to enhance corporate performance. The empirical results, however, have been inconclusive till this day. This seminar paper attempts to explain the problems and difficulties that underlie the obscurity and how researches might eventually unravel this challenge.

The Joint Determinants of Managerial Ownership, Board Independence, and Firm Performance
Author: Jeffrey L. Coles
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 45
Book Description
We specify a simple structural model to isolate the economic determinants of managerial ownership and board structure in a value-maximizing contracting environment. The optimal firm size, level of managerial ownership, and the proportion of outsiders on the board is jointly determined by the relative importance of the three productivity parameters of physical assets, managerial/insider effort and outside director's advising/monitoring role in the firm production process. Our model provides an equilibrium explanation for the cross-sectional relationships between managerial ownership, board structure, and firm performance that is consistent with existing evidence. We use the model to provide an alternative explanation for the observed changes in compensation structure arising from new rules mandating changes in board independence following the Sarbanes Oxley act in 2002.

Asymmetric Information, Corporate Finance, and Investment
Author: R. Glenn Hubbard
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226355942
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
In this volume, specialists from traditionally separate areas in economics and finance investigate issues at the conjunction of their fields. They argue that financial decisions of the firm can affect real economic activity—and this is true for enough firms and consumers to have significant aggregate economic effects. They demonstrate that important differences—asymmetries—in access to information between "borrowers" and "lenders" ("insiders" and "outsiders") in financial transactions affect investment decisions of firms and the organization of financial markets. The original research emphasizes the role of information problems in explaining empirically important links between internal finance and investment, as well as their role in accounting for observed variations in mechanisms for corporate control.
