Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study examines the relationship between institutional ownership and firm performance using a sample of 567 Canadian firms in 2011. The focus on the Canadian firms provides additional insight towards the topic of institutional ownership as a remedial measure towards agency problems, since Canada has shared legal traditions with the United States, but has ownership concentration more comparable to levels in Western Europe and Asia. A distinguishing feature of this study's analysis involves the consideration of institutional investor by type as well as the inclusion of the number of such investors as a measure of ownership. 
\n
\nThe effects of institutional ownership on performance measures Tobin's Q, Industry-Adjusted Tobin's Q, and Return on Assets are estimated using ordinary least squares (OLS) and two-stage least squares (2SLS) methodology, where the latter is employed to offset the endogeneity bias to which the OLS method is susceptible. Although several relationships emerged between institutional ownership levels and measures of Tobin's Q in the OLS regression, only a negative relationship between both the percentage and the number of insurance company investors, was observed to be significant once estimated simultaneously under the 2 SLS method. For all measures of performance, Hausman tests reveal that OLS results are biased in multiple instances; meaningful interpretation must rely on the 2 SLS results.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
