Abstract

In this research we evaluate how corporate ownership around the world is defined and which variables, related to a firm’s characteristics and the countries’ infrastructures, influences this. We find that there are a small number of countries where firms present a lower percentage of block holdings. We find that firm’s size is the most important determinant of block holdings worldwide, although some variables related with the quality of enforcement also play a crucial role.
