Abstract
This paper analyzes the relation between institutional investment duration and corporate governance using a new metric of investment duration that accounts for firm-specific investment durations of each institution. We conjecture that institutional investors that hold a firm’s shares for a longer duration have greater incentives and ability to influence the firm’s governance structure. Consistent with this conjecture, a broadly defined index of corporate governance increases with the duration of institutional ownership. We also show that the relation between investment duration and corporate governance varies across different types of institutions and across firms with different levels of stock market liquidity.
