Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of managerial optimism on firm value. Using Stochastic Frontier Analysis approach, we prove that managerial optimism can largely explain corporate inefficiency among NYSE firms between 1999–2011. We also find evidence that suggests that ownership structure and corporate governance can mitigate the effect of managerial optimism on firm value.
