IPO-mechanisms, monitoring and ownership structure

Article Abstract:

The ownership structure of the offering party appears to be a major determinant of the value of a firm's initial public offering (IPO). Moreover, the positive externality being experienced by minor investors derived from the monitoring activities of large investors results to optimal rationing. However, adoption of a negotiated offer schedule between the large investors and underwriter is a prerequisite in the accomplishment of rationing process. In addition, a more underpriced IPO is required when regulations necessitate active involvement from small investors.
