Summary: | 碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 會計研究所 === 98 === This thesis attempts to examine the influence of corporate governance on stock market liquidity by observing the publicly listed and OTC companies in Taiwan in the period from 2003 to 2008. The governance mechanisms used in this thesis include CEO duality, outside director ownership, management ownership, institutional ownership, family ownership and deviation between ultimate control and ownership. And we use bid-ask spreads to measure market liquidity.
The empirical findings of this study are as follows. Firms with greater outside director seats or foreign institutional ownership are negatively associated with bid-ask spreads and positively associated with market liquidity. While firms with greater management ownership, family ownership, and deviation between voting rights and cash-flow rights, are positively related with bid-ask spreads and negatively related with market liquidity.
