INSTITUTIONAL OWNERSHIP DIFFERENCES AND INTERNATIONAL DIVERSIFICATION: THE EFFECTS OF BOARDS OF DIRECTORS AND TECHNOLOGICAL OPPORTUNITY.

Abstract

We examined the roles of institutional investors, boards of directors, and technological opportunity in relation to international diversification. Our research contributes to both agency and foreign direct investment theories. In data on 197 large U.S. firms, we found significant relationships between institutional ownership and international diversification. International diversification was favored by (1) professional invest-ment funds along with outside board members and (2) pension funds along with inside board members. Also, pension funds ’ long-term orientation facilitated international-ization in industries with high technological opportunities. The results suggest that different institutional owners have different stakes in firms ’ international strategies, and the effects of boards of directors and technological opportunity accentuate these differences. Nearly 60 percent of U.S. corporate equity is owned by institutional investors, such as profes-sional investment and pension funds (Useem, 1996). Corporate governance research suggests that these institutional shareholders are playing an in-creasingly active role in firm strategies (David, Hitt,

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
