This paper investigates equity ownership and capital structure determinants of New Zealand-listed firms. This study is an extension from previous studies conducted by Boyle & Eckhold (1997) and Wellalage & Locke (2012). Boyle & Eckhold and Wellalage & Locke examine capital structure choices in New Zealand, especially the debt choices of NZ's corporate firms. Using a balanced-panel of 79 New Zealand-listed firms, this study employs a balanced panel method, using dynamic-panel Instrumental Variable-Generalised Methods of Moments (IV-GMM) as it corrects heteroskedasticity and endogeneity problems which might result in an unbiased and inconsistent estimation. All variables, apart from non-debt tax shields and profitability exhibit a significant impact on total debt. Overall, these variables confirm the trade-off theory, even though the coefficient for non-debt tax shield confirms the pecking-order theory. The empirical evidence is less conclusive than that of previous studies in other countries, particularly Australia where capital structure confirms the pecking-order theory (Qiu & La, 2010). Overall, the trade-off theory is more appropriate in explaining New Zealand listed firms' capital structure. In addition, it appears that the capital structure theories applied to each study are contradictory, even though the result is in line with Boyle & Eckhold and Wellalage & Locke which find that those firms' specific characteristics play a significant role in determining the firm's debt level. However, the contradictory results may be due to the different methods, time frames and scope of the samples used.

The empirical studies presented in this book model the endogeneity by applying the simultaneous equations methodology on the relation of ownership and financial performance as well as on different ownership dimensions themselves. Its final model comprises a four equations system containing performance, general ownership concentration, managerial and institutional ownership.

The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between research and development outlays (R&D) and firm ownership structure for the public corporations listed on the Italian stock exchange. There is literature on the impact of corporate governance on firms' innovation, and specifically on the relation between ownership structures and innovation. However, related empirical research is still in its infancy, with most contributions focused on the USA. Using a sample of 369 firm-year observations over the period 2005-2013, we investigate the relationship between R&D outlays and ownership structure estimating both a the fixed-effects panel model and a dynamic panel data system-GMM model. We consider various indicators of corporate governance, such as ownership concentration, board ownership, and institutional investors. Our findings reveal a negative relationship between R&D outlays and ownership concentration. Furthermore, we find a positive relationship between R&D investments and institutional investors, and a positive relationship between R&D outlays on the one hand and both firm size and firm age on the other hand. Finally, we find a negative relationship between R&D outlays and the debt-to-capital ratio.

This study examines the effects of oligarch ownership on corporate capital structures. Using panel data from Ukraine, I find that oligarch-owned companies employ significantly more debt and liabilities than their peers. However, there is no direct relation between oligarch ownership and target capital structure. Whereas the determinants of target leverage are similar across all owners, differences in firm characteristics also have a fairly small effect. I show that larger leverage is due to better access to debt, which results in lower rebalancing costs and faster restructurings of oligarch-owned companies. The findings clearly suggest that oligarchs benefit from the accumulated advantages.

The inverse relationship between the diffused ownership structure and firm performance remains a debatable issue since the seminal thesis of Berle and Means (1932). Studies by Demsetz and Villalonga (2001) and others did not find any systematic relationship between ownership structure and firm performance treating the former as endogenous variable. Cho (1998) found performance (Tobin's Q) affected ownership structure but not the vice versa.In the backdrop, we have examined the relationship between performance and ownership structure of a sample of 98 mid-cap companies listed in the National Stock Exchange (NSE) of India as mid-cap sector is considered high growth sector of the economy.In India the shareholders are broadly divided into two categories - promoter shareholders and non-promoter shareholders. Promoter shareholders are those who are in overall control over the affairs of the company irrespective of their percentage/fraction of shareholding. Our results suggest that promoter's shareholding (measure of concentration) is statistically significant in explaining performance. When concentration is treated as endogenous, the same is also found to be dependent on performance. The ownership of high growth sector of the economy continues to remain concentrated even in post-1992 economic liberalization impacting performance amid the general perception that substantial diffuseness has occurred.

Researchers have come up with varied assertions with regard to the relationship between ownership structure and firm performance. Positive as well as negative relationships at differing levels of equity holdings by managers have been suggested by researchers leading to inconclusive results. Findings suggests that promoter controlled firm's performance is better than manager controlled ones, but empirical assertion for the same has been lacking in developing countries. This research focuses on investigating empirically the efficacy of ownership groups in enhancing corporate performance in India, a developing nation. The study analyzes large cap firms (BSE 500) for the period 2000-2008 using fixed effect technique by taking into account both accounting as well as market based measures of performance. Findings suggest that promoter's are the major contributors in the firm performance whereas non promoter's hinders the firm performance.

This study examines the influence of agency costs and ownership concentration on the capital structure of the firm. Of particular interest is the composition of equity ownership as a determinant of overall capital structure and the dynamic adjustment of capital structure to changes in the equity ownership. Time-series cross-sectional analysis and a set of refined explanatory variables are employed to better investigate changes in managerial behavior through time as well as across firms. Results indicate that the distribution of equity ownership is important in explaining overall capital structure and that managers do reduce the level of debt as their own wealth is increasingly tied to the firm. It is shown that institutional ownership and share dispersion cause adjustments in capital structure through time, as do other agency-related factors. It is also noted that the time-series component is important in resolving the conflicting results reported in prior research.
