摘要
Ownership concentration and ownership identity are important corporate governance mechanisms. This paper seeks to understand how ownership concentration and identity affect firm performance in an important emerging economy-China. It hypothesizes that differences in firm performance are a result of various ownership structures and ownership identity. Using data of Chinese listed companies from 2007?2017, it tests those hypotheses and finds that ownership concentration has a positive effect in firm performance and corporate ownership leads to higher firm performance than financial ownership. The study shows that firms in China benefit more from foreign ownership than firms with only domestic ownership.
