Book Synopsis Investor Protection and the Demand for Equity by : Mariassunta Giannetti
Download or read book Investor Protection and the Demand for Equity written by Mariassunta Giannetti and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anecdotal evidence suggests that investor protection affects the demand for equity, but existing theories emphasize only the effect of investor protection on the supply of equity. We build a model showing that the demand for equity is important in explaining stock market development. If the level of investor protection is low, wealthy investors have an incentive to become controlling shareholders, because they can earn additional benefits by expropriating outside shareholders. In equilibrium, since the market price reflects the demand from both controlling and outside shareholders, the stock price of weak corporate governance stocks is not low enough to fully discount the extraction of private benefits. This generates the following empirical implications. First, stocks have lower expected return when investor protection is weak. Second, differences in stock market participation rates across countries, home equity bias and flow of foreign direct investment depend on investor protection. Finally, we uncover a good country bias in investment decisions as portfolio investors from countries with low level of investor protection hold relatively more foreign equity. We provide novel international evidence on stock market participation rates, and on holdings of domestic and foreign stocks consistent with the predictions of the model.
Book Synopsis Investor Protection, Equity Returns, and Financial Globalization by : Mariassunta Giannetti
Download or read book Investor Protection, Equity Returns, and Financial Globalization written by Mariassunta Giannetti and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the effects of investor protection on stock returns and portfolio allocation decisions. In our theoretical model, if investor protection is weak, wealthy investors have an incentive to become controlling shareholders. In equilibrium, the stock price reflects the demand from both controlling shareholders and portfolio investors. Due to the high demand from controlling shareholders, the price of weak corporate governance stocks is not low enough to fully discount the extraction of private benefits. Thus, stocks have lower expected returns when investor protection is weak. This has implications for domestic and foreign investors' stockholdings. In particular, we show that portfolio investors' participation in the domestic stock market and home equity bias are positively related to investor protection and provide original evidence in their support.

Book Synopsis Investor Protection, Optimal Incentives, and Economic Growth by : Rui Castro
Download or read book Investor Protection, Optimal Incentives, and Economic Growth written by Rui Castro and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent empirical evidence has suggested a positive association between various measures of investor protection and financial markets' development, and between financial markets' development and economic growth. We introduce investor protection in a simple extension of the two-period overlapping generations model of capital accumulation and study how protection affects economic growth. Investor protection is positively related to risk-sharing. As is standard in models of investment with risk-averse agents, better protection (better risk sharing) results in a larger demand for capital. This is the demand effect. A second effect, which we call the supply effect, follows form general equilibrium restrictions. For a given aggregate capital stock, better protection (i.e. a higher demand schedule) implies a higher interest rate. The aggregate resource constraint then implies lower income for the entrepreneurs (the younger cohort). As a result, current savings and the supply of capital in the following period decrease. It turns out that the strength of the supply effect is greater, the tighter the restrictions on capital flows. Therefore our model predicts that the positive effect of investor protection on growth is stronger for countries with lower restrictions. We find that the data provides some support for this prediction.
Book Synopsis Investor Protection and Equity Markets by : Andrei Shleifer
Download or read book Investor Protection and Equity Markets written by Andrei Shleifer and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a simple model of an entrepreneur going public in an environment with poor legal protection of outside shareholders. The model incorporates elements of Beckeracirc;not;quot;s (1968) acirc;not;Scrime and punishmentacirc;not;? framework into a corporate finance environment of Jensen and Meckling (1976). We examine the entrepreneuracirc;not;quot;s decision and the market equilibrium. The model is consistent with a number of empirical regularities concerning the relationship between investor protection and corporate finance. It also sheds light on the patterns of capital flows between rich and poor countries and on the politics of reform of investor protection.
Book Synopsis Regulatory Competition in European Corporate and Capital Market Law by : Lars Hornuf
Download or read book Regulatory Competition in European Corporate and Capital Market Law written by Lars Hornuf and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with regulatory competition in corporate and capital market law in Europe - i.e. the endeavor of national and supranational legislators to develop more attractive corporate legal forms and investment frameworks. The book focuses on some recent national corporate law reforms, the newly introduced European legal form Societas Europaea, and the choice of law in corporate debt securities. It combines legal reasoning and advanced econometric techniques to investigate the virtues of regulatory competition in Europe. As it turns out, the merits of regulatory competition in corporate and capital market law are not straightforward, but have to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Book Synopsis Why Does Investor Protection Matter for the Cost of Equity? by : M. Deniz Yavuz
Download or read book Why Does Investor Protection Matter for the Cost of Equity? written by M. Deniz Yavuz and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investor protection matters for the cost of equity because it affects the redistribution of wealth from investors to other agents in the economy. This wealth redistribution shifts systematic risk to investors, which can not be eliminated by portfolio diversification or risk sharing through trade. Other country specific factors that affect output can be shared by international trade, which provides justification for the emphasis of the literature on investor protection in explaining cross-country differences in the cost of equity. The theory predicts that the effect of redistribution on the cost of equity is stronger in countries with larger GDP and higher GDP growth volatility. The empirical evidence shows that the effect of redistribution on the cost of equity is economically significant even across developed countries that are relatively well integrated to world markets. In addition, redistribution theory connects several seemingly unrelated international finance puzzles.

Book Synopsis Valuation of Unlisted Direct Investment Equity by : Emmanuel O. Kumah
Download or read book Valuation of Unlisted Direct Investment Equity written by Emmanuel O. Kumah and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes the seven valuation methods for unlisted direct investment equity included in the recently adopted IMF Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition (BPM6). Based on publicly available Danish data, we test the three methods that are generally applicable and find that the choice of valuation method and estimation technique can have a highly significant impact on the international investment position, pointing to the need for further harmonization. The results show that the price-to-book value method generates more robust market value estimates than the price-to-earnings method. This finding suggests that the valuation basis for the forthcoming Coordinated Direct Investment Survey - own funds at book value -will provide useful information for compiling the international investment position.

Book Synopsis Capitalizing China by : Joseph P. H. Fan
Download or read book Capitalizing China written by Joseph P. H. Fan and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Despite a vast accumulation of private capital, China is not embracing capitalism. Deceptively familiar capitalist features disguise the profoundly unfamiliar foundations of "market socialism with Chinese characteristics." The Chinese Communist Party (CCP), by controlling the career advancement of all senior personnel in all regulatory agencies, all state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and virtually all major financial institutions state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and senior Party positions in all but the smallest non-SOE enterprises, retains sole possession of Lenin's Commanding Heights. The chapters in this volume examine China's high savings rate, banking system, financial markets, financial regulations, corporate governance, and public finances; and consider policy alternatives the CCP might consider if its goal is China's elevation into the ranks of high income countries."

Book Synopsis Investor Protection and Corporate Governance by : Alberto Chong
Download or read book Investor Protection and Corporate Governance written by Alberto Chong and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-06-26 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Investor Protection and Corporate Governance' analyzes the impact of corporate governance on firm performance and valuation. Using unique datasets gathered at the firm-level the first such data in the region and results from a homogeneous corporate governance questionnaire, the book examines corporate governance characteristics, ownership structures, dividend policies, and performance measures. The book's analysis reveals the very high levels of ownership and voting rights concentrations and monolithic governance structures in the largest samples of Latin American companies up to now, and new data emphasize the importance of specific characteristics of the investor protection regimes in several Latin American countries. By and large, those firms with better governance measures across several dimensions are granted higher valuations and thus lower cost of capital. This title will be useful to researchers, policy makers, government officials, and other professionals involved in corporate governance, economic policy, and business finance, law, and management.
