Abstract

The author investigates whether firm value and shareholder rights affect each other or whether they are related spuriously through the influence of a third variable. A change in governance quality is positively correlated with the future change in firm value, but a change in firm value is not related to a future change in governance quality; thus it is unlikely that firm value affects governance quality. The author also finds that after controlling for unobservable firm heterogeneity and certain observable characteristics of firms, as governance quality increases (decreases), there is a subsequent increase (decrease) in firm value.
