Abstract

The majority of Indian firms have a promoter and family-owner-dominated ownership structure; therefore, the agency problem prevailing in such a setting would be the conflict of interest between the majority and minority shareholders. This motivated us to examine the adverse effect of not investing at the level implied by the firms’ characteristics, termed investment inefficiency, on the ex-ante measure of expected returns, the implied cost of capital. Our study finds a positive relationship between investment inefficiency and expected returns in the baseline results estimated using pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) and the robustness results estimated using a two-step generalized method of moments (GMM). The sample of the study consists of listed firms in India from 2016 to 2021. JEL Codes: G11, G31
投资效率对预期收益的影响
大多数印度公司都有一个发起人和家族所有者主导的所有权结构;因此,在这种情况下,代理问题将是多数股东和少数股东之间的利益冲突。这促使我们研究不以公司特征所暗示的水平进行投资(称为投资效率低下)对预期回报(隐含资本成本)的事前衡量的不利影响。我们的研究发现,在使用合并普通最小二乘法(OLS)估计的基线结果和使用两步广义矩法(GMM)估计的稳健性结果中,投资效率与预期回报之间存在正相关关系。该研究的样本包括2016年至2021年印度的上市公司。JEL代码:G11、G31

期刊介绍: The Journal of Emerging Market Finance is a forum for debate and discussion on the theory and practice of finance in emerging markets. While the emphasis is on articles that are of practical significance, the journal also covers theoretical and conceptual aspects relating to emerging financial markets. Peer-reviewed, the journal is equally useful to practitioners and to banking and investment companies as to scholars.
