Abstract

This study focuses on the incentives and risk-taking behavior of large shareholders in Thailand before and after the 1997 financial crisis. The results show that there is a negative association between risk and firm performance. However, the effect ore cash flow re members of top management. Furthermore, there is weak evidence that a move to more transparent direct control structure benefits the firms. Overall, the results indicate that ownership-based incentives are an effective means of aligning the interests between controlling shareholders and minority shareholders particularly in the post-crisis period.
