Communication
among Shareholders
This paper provides a model of information transmission among shareholders in an investment venture. An expert shareholder chooses how much information to communicate about the return on investment
to a controlling shareholder who controls the investment strategy. Relative to the cheap-talk literature there are two key innovations in our model: first, that the shareholdings drive the incentive to communicate; second, that these shareholdings are determined
endogenously. We embed this new model into two settings. In the first setting, equity ownership is determined by investors buying shares on a competitive equity market. We provide conditions under which share-trading delivers perfect communication and full
risk-sharing. The second setting is a principal-agent relationship where the equity is granted as compensation by a principal (board) to an agent (CEO). Within this setting, the model highlights a novel trade-off between incentivizing export provision and
promoting information transmission. Furthermore, the principal-agent setting delivers insights into the effects of prudential regulation.
Paper jointly with Nicola Persico
We are looking forward to seeing you!
