Abstract: | This article documents a nonlinear relationship between insider shareholding and the sensitivity of a firm's investment to its cash flow. As insider holdings increase from zero, investment-cash flow sensitivities rise sharply. This relationship weakens at higher levels of insider ownership, and the author finds some evidence that investment-cash flow sensitivities decrease slowly with insider holdings after a certain point. The author argues that these results are inconsistent with the hypothesis that free-cash-flow problems cause the widely noted sensitivity of investment to cash flow. |
