In particular, they test whether financial constraints are more severe for independent firms, and whether members of large national business groups suffer different constraints than subsidiaries of foreign multinational corporations. The results for leverage and investment equations estimated for a panel of Italian companies suggest that: a) independent firms face more severe financial constraints than other firms do; and b) members of national groups and subsidiaries of multinational corporations are not oversensitive to cash flow in their investment decisions. But leverage equations suggest interesting differences between the two groups. In particular, agency costs arising from the conflict between managers and shareholders are more important for subsidiaries of multinational corporations.Keywords: Economic Theory&Research; Payment Systems&Infrastructure; Microfinance; International Terrorism&Counterterrorism; Banks&Banking Reform; Economic Theory&Research; International Terrorism&Counterterrorism; Banks&Banking Reform; Small Scale Enterprise; Microfinance (search for similar items in EconPapers)Date: 1996-07-31References: View references in EconPapers View complete reference list from CitEc Citations: View citations in EconPapers (12) Track citations by RSS feedDownloads: (external link) -... d/PDF/multi_page.pdf (application/pdf)Related works:Working Paper: Form of Ownership and Financial Constraints: Panel Data Evidence from Leverage and Investment Equations (1995) This item may be available elsewhere in EconPapers: Search for items with the same title. 827ec27edc
