Why is ownership endogenous?

Pages 901-904 | Published online: 22 Aug 2006
 

Abstract

A recently published paper by Gugler and Weigand (Citation2003) addresses the problem of the endogeneity of ownership, but an unresolved question remains. Where does this endogeneity come from? It is shown that the main source of endogeneity is the simultaneity between ownership and value.

Notes

 The estimation results will be provided by the authors upon request.

 We find, however, no conclusive explanation for this lack of significance. In addition to the simultaneity between insider ownership and value, the fact that ownership concentration significantly contributes to the explanation of insider ownership levels, as shown in Chen and Steiner (1999), may explain this result.
