| description | This is an empirical study of troubled (i.e., PN 4) companies, and their agency costs to outsiders who invest in them. The sample consisted of 21 companies each in three groups made up ofPN4, positive economic profit and negative

Relative to the control group, PN 4 companies had higher insider ownership, borrowing, and lower equity values. The study highlights the uniqueness of the Malaysian securities law that allows corporate insiders to proactively use monitoring mechanisms to lower agency costs. |
