本文嘗試利用新加坡證券市場的數據對利益合一假說與利益蠶食假說進行實證測驗,以求找出董事會成員持有股權百分比與市場風險及公司市值的關係。採用的研究方法是定量線性迴歸模型,結果顯示公司的市值及市場風險與董事會持有股權比例有直接關係。董事會持有適當比例的股權,公司的市值將比較高。
This paper is an attempt to test the convergence-of-interest hypothesis and the entrenchment hypothesis using data from the Stock Exchange of Singapore. The test is performed by the piecewise linear regression model. The results show that the firm's market value will be higher at an appropriate range of board ownership.
