摘要
This study examines the moderator effect of directors' and officers' liability insurance (D&O insurance) on the relationship between ownership structure and overinvestment. We find that firms with D&O insurance and higher insurance coverage have a higher probability of overinvestment. These results show the D&O insurance is like a moral hazard effect. We also find evidence that the relationship between ownership structure and overinvestment is affected by D&O insurance. As well as the results support that the firms purchasing D&O insurance is moderator effect on ownership structure and overinvestment.
