| Research Abstract |
Main banks used to play the most important role in monitoring Japanese companies. However, as main banking system began to weaken since the late 1990s, institutional investors are becoming active in the Japanese corporate governance. This research project analyzed the economic costs and benefits associated with institutional investors, followed by empirical studies on buyouts and shareholder proposals undertaken by funds in corporate Japanese. The empirical results, in general, provide positive evidence that shareholder activism undertaken by funds can mitigate managerial entrenchment and therefore enhance firm value. In the same time, funds may have their own governance problems. Case studies and economic analysis suggest that heavier punishment is more effective than stricter disclosure requirements for funds.
