Essays on Changes in Corporate Governance: Ownership Structure and Board Structure.
Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh.
(Unpublished)
Abstract
Changes in two important monitoring mechanisms - ownership structure and board structure around restructuring events are examined. To examine ownership structure I use a sample of corporate spin-offs. To examine board structure I use a sample of acquirers in the banking industry. The results of the dissertation show that public corporations self-adjust their governance around events that require such adjustment. This dissertation significantly extends the literature that suggests that monitoring mechanisms arise endogenously.
