Abstract: | Using transaction cost and agency theories, this article examines 142 companies spun-off between 1986 and 1997, and investigates how oversight and ownership by the parent company affect stock market performance post spin-off. It is found that while child companies benefit from some links to the parent, having too many links is negatively connected with performance. The results propose that there is a balance between having too much and not enough parental involvement. |
