| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
One of major changes in the organization of Japanese firms in the present century is that firms with a holding-company structure increased substantially. This study investigates the causes and consequences of this change, with particular attention to the effect on firm value. It is found that decentralization through the parent-subsidiary structure is a prime motive for the adoption of the holding-company structure. It is also found that the holding-company structure on average fails to increase firm value. Firms that have adopted a holding-company structure on average lose 10% in value relative to comparable firms that have not adopted the structure.
