Foreign Ownership, Bank Information Environments, and the International Mobility of Corporate Governance
Yiwei Fang, Iftekhar Hasan, Woon Sau Leung, Qingwei Wang
Journal of International Business Studies,
Nr. 9,
2019
Abstract
This paper investigates how foreign ownership shapes bank information environments. Using a sample of listed banks from 60 countries over 1997–2012, we show that foreign ownership is significantly associated with greater (lower) informativeness (synchronicity) in bank stock prices. We also find that stock returns of foreign-owned banks reflect more information about future earnings. In addition, the positive association between price informativeness and foreign ownership is stronger for foreign-owned banks in countries with stronger governance, stronger banking supervision, and lower monitoring costs. Overall, our evidence suggests that foreign ownership reduces bank opacity by exporting governance, yielding important implications for regulators and governments.

Banken steigern Ertrag, wenn Fusionsschranken fallen
Wenn durch den Wegfall politischer Konsolidierungsbarrieren aus zwei Banken eine wird, wird das neu entstandene Institut deutlich profitabler und nützlicher für die Realwirtschaft. Zu diesem Schluss kommt eine Untersuchung von zwangsfusionierten Sparkassen, durchgeführt vom Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Halle (IWH). Aus der Studie ergeben sich wichtige Erkenntnisse für den deutschen und den europäischen Bankenmarkt.

Do Managerial Risk-taking Incentives Influence Firms' Exchange Rate Exposure?
Bill Francis, Iftekhar Hasan, Delroy M. Hunter, Yun Zhu
Journal of Corporate Finance,
2017
Abstract
There is scant evidence on how risk-taking incentives impact specific firm risks. This has implications for board oversight of managerial risk taking, firms' development of comparative advantage in taking particular risks, and compensation design. We examine this question for exchange rate risk. Using multiple identification strategies, we find that vega increases exchange rate exposure for purely domestic and globally engaged firms. Vega's impact increases with international operations, declines post-SOX, and is robust to firm-level governance. Our results suggest that evidence that exposure reduces firm value can be viewed, in part, as a wealth transfer from shareholders and debt-holders to managers.
