Identifying Control Motives in Managerial Ownership: Evidence from Antitakeover Legislation

This study uses the introduction of second-generation antitakeoverlegislation as a natural experimental setting to infer the valuethat managers place on the control rights conferred by stockownership. We conjecture that managers will reduce their stockholdingsin the post-legislation period because they can ensure theirprior level of control while holding fewer risky shares. Usinga variety of specifications, we find robust evidence consistentwith this "revealed preference" hypothesis. Further demonstratingthe key role played by control considerations in managers' stockholdingdecisions, the reductions in ownership are concentrated in managementteams with higher levels of initial ownership and in firms withoutpoison pills.

Farmland Investment Under Conditions of Certainty and Uncertainty

This study investigates the potential for farmland to improve mixed-asset portfolio efficiency. Three major conclusions are drawn from the research. First, in a world with certainty, farmland can be shown to statistically improve mixed-asset portfolio efficiency. Second, with the introduction of uncertainty into the portfolio allocation model, investors can justify small or no allocations of farmland in a mixed-asset portfolio, although it appears that even with uncertainty prudent investors should evaluate the asset class. Third, with respect to farmland investment and geographic diversification, the results question the ability of an optimized mean–variance portfolio to provide substantial improvement in comparison to a naïve portfolio. The marginal improvement in portfolio efficiency of an optimized farmland portfolio versus a naïve farmland portfolio is not statistically significant.     

Disaggregation of Local Apartment Markets by Unit Type

Recent market segmentation research has begun to delve into the issue of whether traditional property-type categories are sufficiently homogeneous to be modeled as aggregate real estate markets. This article extends the research on rental-property market segmentation by investigating the existence of apartment submarkets determined by unit type. The study finds that one-bedroom, one-bath units; two-bedroom, one-bath units; and two-bedroom, two-bath units function as distinct submarkets differentiated by property features, neighborhood location, and temporal changes in market rent.
