We present a model of succession in a firm owned and managed by its founder. The founder decides between hiring a professional manager or leaving management to his heir, as well as on what fraction of the company to float on the stock exchange. We assume that a professional is a better manager than the heir, and describe how the founder's decision is shaped by the legal environment. This theory of separation of ownership from management includes the Anglo-Saxon and the Continental European patterns of corporate governance as special cases, and generates additional empirical predictions consistent with cross-country evidence.

Capital budgeting in multidivisional firms depends on the external assessment of
the whole firm, as well as on headquarters' assessment of the divisions. While corporate
headquarters may create value by directly monitoring divisions, the external assessment
of the firm is a public good for division managers who, consequently, are tempted
to free ride. As the number of divisions increases, the free-rider problem is aggravated,
and internal capital markets substitute for external capital markets in the provision
of managerial incentives. The analysis relates the value of diversification to characteristics
of the firm, the industry, and the capital market.

Authors decompose the cross-sectional variance of firms book-to-market ratios using
both a long U.S. panel and a shorter international panel. In contrast to typical
aggregate time-series results, transitory cross-sectional variation in expected 15-year
stock returns causes only a relatively small fraction (20-25 percent) of the total
cross-sectional variance. The remaining dispersion can be explained by expected
15-year profitability and persistence of valuation levels. Furthermore, this fraction
appears stable across time and across types of stocks. They also showed that the
expected
return on value-minus-growth strategies is atypically high at times when the value
spread (the difference between the book-to-market ratio of a typical value stock
and a typical growth stock) is wide.
