Previous research has shown that there is a great variety in ownership and control arrangements across countries. This diversity has sparked a lively debate and in order to understand the reasons for such differences, it was felt that one had to go back in time and look at the evolution of ownership and control in parallel with the evolution of economic growth, regulatory reform and politics.
This project, initiated by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), examines the evolution of ownership and control in nine countries. A number of ECGI Research Fellows and Associates will work closely with the NBER and the University of Alberta School of Business.
The research project is sponsored by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the University of Alberta Business School and the ECGI.
