Using a large sample of quarterly institutional ownership data from 28 countries/markets between 2000 and 2021, we find that EPU negatively affects institutional investments in both domestic and overseas stock markets. Policy uncertainty also deters foreign institutions’ inbound investments. The adverse effect of policy uncertainty on crossborder institutional investment is particularly pronounced when the investment destination country does not share the same official language or legal origin as the investing country, consistent with the information asymmetry hypothesis. Additionally, firms with higher cash holdings and lower market-to-book ratios are less vulnerable to the withdrawal of investment by foreign institutional investors.</p>","PeriodicalId":48123,"journal":{"name":"Financial Management","volume":"54 2","pages":"271-304"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144292645","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Violent crimes and those with longer sentences drive the negative correlation between local crime and corporate employment.

This study investigates the potential harm of such structures by examining the identity and returns of minority shareholders. We find that sophisticated investors predominantly hold low-voting shares. Furthermore, outside shareholders earn a positive risk premium rather than suffering low returns, consistent with the hypothesis that market prices compensate for the risk associated with dual-class structures. Our analysis reveals that such structures are confounded with family control, which is present in 89% of dual-class firms in the Russell 3000. Interestingly, single-class firms with family shareholders also enjoy positive abnormal returns, implying minority shareholders care more about the presence of a controlling shareholder than a specific voting structure. This research contributes to the ongoing debate on restricting dual-class structures by highlighting the complex relationship between ownership, control, and shareholder returns.</p>","PeriodicalId":48123,"journal":{"name":"Financial Management","volume":"54 2","pages":"199-236"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144292142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surprisingly, perhaps, CAPM theory reveals that adding an idiosyncratic risk to the firm's payoff distribution will usually although not necessarily increase the firm's cost of capital. Lintner's famous original CAPM expositions revealed that the firm's CAPM cost of capital is a function of the ratio of the covariance of its cash payoff with the market to its payoff mean. Lintner proved that an idiosyncratic risk that affects the firm's payoff covariance <i>per unit of mean</i> is“priced” in the sense that it necessarily alters the firm's CAPM discount rate.
