Ownership and operating performance of companies that go public

Article Abstract:

The operating performance of a company is not significantly related to the ownership of officers and directors during the first ten years of public trading. However, companies that decide to go public may also experience a drop in median operating returns on assets and median ownership due to the presence of alternative forces and alignment of managerial interests. Such tendencies lead to the negation of previous documented works of Jain and Kini (1994) and Holthausen and Larcker (1996).
