| Abstract: | Using a sample of over 1000 firms from seven emerging markets in 1995, the authors find that diversified firms trade at a discount of approximately 7 % compared to single-segment firms. Diversified firms are also less profitable than single-segment firms, but lower profitability only explains part of the discount. The find a discount only for those firms that are part of industrial groups and for diversified firms with management ownership concentration between 10% and 30 %. The results do not support internal capital market efficiency in economies with severe capital market imperfections. |
