摘要
Using unique and proprietary daily trade data from qualified market participants, our study empirically investigates the impact of trading aggressiveness on firm performance and the moderating impact of equity-based compensation and block ownership. Based on a dataset including 3,775,646 daily trades by 35 qualified market participants for 414 New Zealand Ex -change (NZX) listed firms over the period 1996?2011, we find that aggressive trading does not consistently improve firm performance across all trading measures and after addressing endo-geneity concern. Our findings even hold among firms with CEO equity-based compensation and high level of block ownership. Our study challenges the crucial role of CEO equity-based pay and block ownership in the theory of ?governance through trading?.
