The Wealth Effect of Domestic Joint Ventures: Evidence from Taiwan

This study presents important international evidence by examining the wealth effect of domestic joint ventures by Taiwanese firms. In opposite to United States evidence, we find that announcements of domestic joint ventures by Taiwanese firms are, on average, associated with significantly negative abnormal stock returns. We also find that the stock market response to announced domestic joint ventures is significantly positively related to the announcing firms' investment opportunities, size of investment and debt ratio, and is significantly negatively related to the business relatedness variable. In contrast, free cash flow, firm size, relative firm size and managerial ownership are found to have no significant power in explaining the market response. Our results support the investment opportunities, synergy and complementarity hypotheses as well as a broad interpretation of the free cash flow hypothesis, but reject the absolute size, relative size and alignment-of-interests hypotheses. This study makes valuable contributions to the literature by providing the first direct evidence on the role of investment opportunities, synergy and alignment-of-interests in explaining the wealth effect of domestic joint ventures     

Value of Multinationality: Internalization, Managerial Self-interest, and Managerial Compensation

In this paper, we examine the impact of managerial self-interest on the value of multinationality. Since agency theory also suggests that a divergence between the interests of managers and shareholders can be aligned by effective managerial incentive, we also examine the effect of managerial compensation on the value of multinationality. Our results show that for high- Q (Tobin's Q > 1 ) firms, investors do not associate the spending of free cash flow on multinationality with the problem of overinvestments. For high- Q firms, it is also found that the value of multinationality can be enhanced by effective managerial incentives. For low- Q firms (Tobin's Q < 1 ), it is found that the concern of managerial self-interest overwhelms the benefits of internalization, making multinationality a value-decreasing event. For low- Q firms, managerial compensation is also ineffective in promoting value-enhancing foreign direct investments.     

自由现金流与企业过度投资——基于内外部约束视角的实证研究

在我国转型经济的制度背景下,基于公司内外部约束视角,以我国制造业2001年—2012年主板上市公司为研究对象,研究了自由现金流与企业过度投资的关系,以及公司外部负债融资和内部公司治理机制对于过度投资的约束作用。研究表明:企业留存的过量自由现金流会造成企业的过度投资现象,而企业外部的债务约束以及内部完善的公司治理机制可以较有效的约束这种过度投资现象。结论对于建立约束企业过度投资行为的机制,提高企业投资决策效率具有理论和现实意义。

自由现金流量、股权结构与我国上市公司过度投资问题研究

按照自由现金流量假说,当公司存在大量自由现金流量时,管理人员的机会主义行为容易引发过 度投资.本文以2005-2007年上市公司数据考察我国企业是否存在过度投资以及股权结构能否抑制过度投资.分析表明我国企业普遍存在过度投资行为,国有企业相比非国有企业过度投资更严重,现金流与投资行为显著正相关,第一大股东持股比例与股权集中度在某种程度上能够制约过度投资,但是举债在我国并不能对过度投资发挥有效的抑制作用.     

上市公司经营性现金流操纵实证研究

本文在已有研究思路的基础上,改进了实证方法,考察了1999-2004年再融资的554家A股公司的经营性现金流操纵行为.1998、2001年虽然有现金流量表的规范文件出台,但经营性现金流操纵仍是我国A股上市公司的普遍行为.文章在跨期5年的实证考察中也印证了公司再融资时确实通过获得一次性的税费返还、收回被股东单位占用的资金、拖延支付货款以及其他与经营活动有关的支出等手段操纵上市公司的现金流.
