Abstract

This study examines how changes in block ownership effects firm value and performance for a sample of US firms over the period 1993-2001. We find that the creation of a new block has a significant impact on shareholder wealth while block elimination does not. The wealth effect is most pronounced when the new block-holder is a corporation. We also determine that announcement period returns are larger when purchasers are classified as permanent rather than temporary block-holders. We find that the creation of a permanent block-holder improves industry-adjusted operating performance more than that of a temporary block-holder. Block elimination, however, does not impact the firm's subsequent operating performance. Our analysis of the sequencing of changes in the number of block-holders shows that firm value increases only when a block purchase produces an initial block-holder. We find that the superior long-term market performance of firms with new block-holders is due to the presence of permanent block-holders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The article deals with the effect that the passing of a new legislation for the eradication of boll weevils is likely to have on cotton farmers in parts of the United States. If the program proves successful, boll weevil will soon cease to be an economic threat to any cotton anywhere in the United States. The program has encountered and overcome about as many challenges as the number of weevils early employees found in the northernmost and easternmost cotton area. In some cases, farmers say that without the program they would have been forced out of cotton.
