PAPER 2

, Management ownership and market evaluation – evaluation by Morck, Schleifer and Vishny
MOTIVATION: Why should firm value and managerial ownership be related?
Convergence of interest
As I am getting owner, I am becoming more responsible and will perform better
o Managers may shirk
o But they are more responsible as their ownership stake increases
Forces: Market discipline, managerial labor market, product market, and market for corporate
control
Ownership is motivation (positive effect on firm value)
Managerial Entrenchment
o Managers control substantial fraction may be too powerful and entrench
Strong voting power, guarantee employment, attractive pays, no hostile takeover
Ownership enables the managers to execute their power, this decreases firm value
Firm Value VS Managerial Ownership
1. First define Firm Value

Tobin’s Q = Market value / replacement costs of it physical assets
Market value Priced by investor in the stock exchange
Market measure
Replacement cost Based on book value
Accounting measure
Market demands, so stock prices increases Q increases
DATA
Large industrial firms, 456 of Fortune 500 firms
Difficult to interpret
- Some observations are very low
- Highly skewed distribution of data on firms
- Correlation unsure (No logical pattern of increasing/decreasing)
- Negligables are ignored
- Outliers may increase error term (decrease precision of estimate)
Linearity
Correlation No clear pattern nonlinearity
Reasons for nonlinearity
- Heterogeneity across the firms
INDENTIFICATION
Y X
Tobin’s Q % of ownership
Piecewise linearity specification
Capture nonlinearity
1. X1 Board ownership 0 – 5%
2. X2 Board ownership 5 – 25%
3. X3 Board ownership >25%
