With a series of tests, we demonstrate that the market integration hypothesis can explain this phenomenon. Specifically, the price revaluations of connected stocks are proportional to firm-specific conditional market risk, and this relationship is stronger in firms with high transparency and liquidity and is dampened by the existence of B- or H-shares.

Using an unbalanced panel of 32,858 firm-year observations of Chinese A-share listed firms from 2007 to 2021, we find that common institutional ownership inhibits opportunistic insider selling, supporting the synergistic governance view. Our evidence indicates that information economies of scale and industry power acquired from shareholding networks enable common owners to exert positive governance effects. Designating directors and officers, voting at shareholders' meetings, and promoting information disclosure are the three essential channels through which common owners perform effective monitoring. Furthermore, the synergistic governance effect is more pronounced in firms with headquarters located in regions with a stronger altruistic culture, better independent director governance, and wider media coverage. Heterogeneity analyses show that non-pressure-sensitive, stable, and transactional common institutional investors effectively inhibit opportunistic insider selling, whereas pressure-sensitive common owners exhibit attenuated effects. Additional tests indicate that common owners significantly reduce the profitability of opportunistic insider trading. Our findings highlight the social attributes and ethical aspects of how common institutional shareholders restricts insider opportunism in emerging markets.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 102580"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142663488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of mechanism analysis suggest that intensifying market competition and the alleviating agency problems are two important channels for this effect. Heterogeneity tests indicate a stronger effect for non-state owned enterprises, firms with worse governance, and firms in noncompetitive industries.

The use of show of hands voting has been criticised as it ignores a shareholder's ownership stake and does not count the votes of shareholders that vote prior to the meeting. Additionally, there is anecdotal evidence that resolutions have been passed by a show of hands when votes cast prior to the meeting suggested that the resolution may have failed. This study investigates the extent of inappropriate passing of meeting resolutions, along with the determinants and consequences of the voting method employed. Consistent with the anecdotal evidence we report that some firms appear to have inappropriately passed resolutions using a show of hands vote. We document firms are more likely to vote by poll when they are larger, have lower stock returns, have greater board gender diversity and lower shareholder concentration. Importantly we find that the method of voting matters to shareholders and that a move away from voting by a show of hands encourages greater shareholder voting participation and dissent at the annual general meeting. Interestingly, firms are more likely to withdraw resolutions with higher dissent prior to the AGM when show of hands voting is discouraged.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48074,"journal":{"name":"Pacific-Basin Finance Journal","volume":"88 ","pages":"Article 102576"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142662943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
