Overview

Research finds that corporate governance moderates the effects of family ownership on tunneling and propping behaviors in family firms.

Key Points

  • Corporate governance reduces the negative effects of family ownership on tunneling behavior, promoting transparency.
  • Family ownership significantly influences tunneling positively while having mixed effects on propping behaviors.
  • Panel data regression analysis was conducted on 326 firms listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange from 2012 to 2022.
  • Findings emphasize the importance of strong governance controls to mitigate opportunistic behaviors in family firms.
