摘要
文章采用相对管理费用作为权益代理成本的代理变量,以1999-2002年上市公司为对象,检验了两种核心的内部治理机制——大股东和董事会对公司经营者代理问题的影响。研究发现,董事会独立性在国家控股公司与非国家控股公司之间存在一定的差异,但对公司权益代理成本几乎没有影响;相反,终极控股权性质对权益代理成本产生了显著影响,即无论是否考虑董事会独立性的影响,国家控股公司的代理成本显著高于非国家控股公司;并且,在国家控股公司中,控股股东持股比例越高,公司权益代理成本越高。此外,文章还发现,国家控股方式影响了公司权益代理成本,国资部门控股公司代理成本显著高于其他的国家控股公司。
This paper tests which internal governance mechanisms, block shareholders or board of directors, affect managers' agency cost with a measure of relative overhead expense. We find that despite of some difference in board's structure between state controlled firms and no-state controlled firms, the independence of board has little influence on corporate equity agency cost. On the other hand, ultimate ownership significantly affects it, i.e. whether the difference of board's structure is controlled, state controlled firms' equity agency cost is significantly higher than that of no-state controlled firms. What's more, among state controlled firms, the more stocks controlled by the block shareholders, the more equity agency cost is assumed. We also find that governments directly controlled firms assume more equity agency cost that other state controlled firms.
