Excess Control, Moral Hazard, and Corporate Performance:Evidence from Chinas Listed Companies
The Purpose of this study is to provide empirical evidence of the relationship between ownership structure of China’s listed companies and their performance.Using data for 479 companies listed on Shanghai Stock Exchange,we find the firm’s performance increases with the cash-flow ownership of the largest shareholder,but decreases with the extent of ownership-control discrepancy. The evidence also indicates that the detrimental effect of the discrepancy is exacerbated when the firm is SOE owned or privately owned. Additional analysis reveals that the directors represent second largest shareholders tend to restrict the rent-extraction behavior of the controlling shareholder.
