Tiivistelmä: | The relationship between managerial entrenchment and agency costs is empirically investigated for a large sample of over the period 1999-2005. Detailed information on ownership and board structures and managerial compensation is used to measure managerial entrenchment. A managerial entrenchment index, which captures the extent to which managers have the ability and incentives to expropriate wealth from shareholders is developed. The results are based on a dynamic panel data analysis and they suggest that there is a strong negative relationship between managerial entrenchment and an inverse proxy for agency costs, namely asset turnover ratio. |
