Corporate Governance and Large-Block Shareholders with Clifford Holderness

Dr. Bin Zhou, Brattle Principal, and Clifford Holderness, Professor Emeritus at Boston College Carroll School of Management, engage in a dynamic discussion on corporate governance and ownership concentration in publicly traded companies.

Drawing upon Cliff's extensive background in corporate finance, the episode delves into his innovative research – which has often challenged conventional thinking – including on the dynamics of large-block ownership and large-block trading in publicly traded companies. Bin and Cliff also discuss private benefits of control, potential conflicts between large and minority shareholders, and Cliff’s recent research on shareholder voting on potentially controversial company issues.
