This non-linear connection is similar to the worldwide documented quadratic (inverted U) relation between ownership concentration and a finn's Tobin's Q. The relation becomes even statistically stronger, when measuring ownership concentration using a strategic power approach, in an attempt to identify the source of this puzzling connection.展开更多

Then, its feasibility, instructions, and application to compare the path dependence intensity of sorts of options will be discussed.展开更多

文摘This paper investigates 218 related party transactions (RPTs) in Israel, an economy characterized by a high percentage of closely-held finns and identifies a non-linear inverted U connection between the value effect of RPT and the level of finn ownership concentration. This non-linear connection is similar to the worldwide documented quadratic (inverted U) relation between ownership concentration and a finn's Tobin's Q. The relation becomes even statistically stronger, when measuring ownership concentration using a strategic power approach, in an attempt to identify the source of this puzzling connection.

Then, its feasibility, instructions, and application to compare the path dependence intensity of sorts of options will be discussed.
