Why Managers Hold Shares of Their Firms: An Empirical Analysis



Table 4: (continued)

In Panel H, portfolios are constructed based on the rank of the managerial
ownership of that officer who owns the highest fraction of the firm’s
outstanding shares. We examine portfolios consisting of the 100 and 250
firms with the highest managerial ownership, respectively. Standard errors
are in parentheses. The number of months used to estimate the model is
given in the last column.
***, **, and * indicate significance at the one, five,
and ten percent level, respectively.
