This paper contributes to existing literatures by using fixed effects panel data regression to investigate the relation between firm performance and family CEOs, family ownership, family control, and family board characteristics. Our empirical evidence from Taiwan Stock Exchange reveals that nonfamily firms significantly outperform family firms. Other findings include the following: (1) Nonfamily CEOs in family firms are associated with superior performance than family CEOs (2) The firm with greater family blockholder ownership experiences impaired firm performance and stock price reaction. (3) As the deviation in family and nonfamily blockholder ownership increases no significant impact on firm performance and value. (4) Family firm with larger board size is more likely to have better firm performance and value. (5) There is a positive relationship between number of outside directors and firm performance in the family and nonfamily firm. (6) A significant difference in the family firm performance when family CEO also serves as board chairperson. |
