Tiivistelmä: | The paper studies the determinants of executive turnover and firm valuation as a function of ownership and control structure in Italy, a country that features low legal protection for investors. The results suggest that there id poor governance, as measured by a low sensitivity of turnover to performance and a low Q ratio, when the controlling shareholders are also top executives, the control is fully in the hands of one shareholder and is not shared by a set of core sharewholders, and the controlling shareholders own less than 50 % of the firm's cash-flow rights. |
