| Tiivistelmä: | In a study of the ownership of German corporations, the authors find a strong relation between board turnover and corporate performance, little association of concentrations of ownership with managerial disciplining, and only limited evidence that pyramid structures can be used for control purposes. The static relationship of ownership to control in Germany is therefore similar to the United Kingdom and the United States. However, there are marked differences in dynamic relations involving transfers of ownership. There is an active market in share blocks giving rise to changes in control, but the gams are limited and accrue solely to the holders of large blocks, not to minority investors. The authors provide evidence of low overall benefits to control changes and the exploitation of private benefits of control. |
