JensenHarvard Business School; Social Science Electronic Publishing (SSEP), Inc.; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) Jerold B. WarnerSimon Graduate School of Business, University of Rochester June 1, 1988 Journal of Financial Economics (JFE), Vol. 20, pp. 3-24, 1988 Michael C. Jensen, A THEORY OF THE FIRM: GOVERNANCE, RESIDUAL CLAIMES AND ORGANIZATIONAL FORMS, Harvard University Press, December 2000 Harvard NOM Working Paper No. 00-09 Abstract: This article surveys the seventeen papers in this special issue of the Journal of Financial Economics, and related work. The major findings are: (1) patterns of stock ownership by insiders and outsiders can influence managerial behavior, corporate performance, and stockholder voting in election contests; (2) corporate leverage, inside stock ownership by managers, and the control market are interrelated; (3) departures from one share/one vote affect firm value and efficiency; (4) takeover resistance through defensive restructurings or poison pill provisions is associated with declines in share price; and (5) top management turnover is inversely related to share price performance.
