We examine the relationship between various measures of institutional ownership and investee firms' level of innovation as measured by the number of patents and patent citations. We find a direct association between the stability in the equity ownership of institutional investors and their investee firms' level of innovation. Our main finding would serve to reassure managers that they benefit from the support of long-term-oriented institutional investors who adopt a "buy and hold" investment philosophy as opposed to a "trading" philosophy. We also examine the association between the proportion of a firm's equity held by institutional investors and its innovation and find that it relies on the type of the investor. For instance, while there exists a positive association between mutual funds and firm innovation yet, the association is only positive for funds that actively manage their portfolios different from their benchmark index. Next, pressure-sensitive institutional investors' shareholdings are positively correlated with firm innovation; however, it is not necessarily the case for all the pressure-insensitive investors.

This study examines the impact of institutional investors' equity ownership stability and their investment horizon to determine the impact on their investee firms' equity mispricing. We treat institutional investors as a heterogenous group, i.e., dedicated, transient, or quasi-indexer as defined by Bushee (1998, 2001) since their categorization determines their trading strategy. Higher institutional ownership, higher stability in institutional investors' equity ownership, and institutional investors classified as long-term are all associated with lower equity mispricing at investee firms.

In the first chapter, I examine the relationship between institutional investors' distraction and innovation. Institutional investor distraction means that these institutional investors get distracted when they perceive either positive or negative information from other stocks in their portfolio. Prior studies suggest institutional holdings provide stable funding for firm managers and thus allow them to pursue long term innovation (stability hypothesis). However, the level of institutional holdings is also a proxy for the level of attention given by these institutions (attention hypothesis). I address this debate by utilizing the investor distraction measure of Kempf, Manconi, and Spalt (2017) and find that institutional investors' distraction reduces firm patent filings, citations, and quality, supporting the attention hypothesis. The effect is concentrated in firms owned by institutions providing beneficial monitoring but limited attention: passive institutions, independent institutions, and institutions with a low ownership concentration in the firm. The test shows that investor distraction impacts innovation via the monitoring channel or the information channel. In my second essay, I investigate the relationship between a firm's external financing needs and the extent of technology spillovers that the firm experiences. Reliance on external funds is captured by the firm's level of external financial dependence (EFD) firm. My empirical results indicate that firms with higher technology spillover have lower external financial dependence.

Research and development (R&D) is vital for an information technology (IT) firm's innovation. This study investigates the relationship among institutional ownership, capital structure, and research and development investment for 336 listed information technology firms from 2006 to 2009. Empirical evidence shows that there is no significant relationship between institutional ownership and research and development investment. The finding suggests that institutional investors may not influence management decision making on research and development investment. This study also finds that capital structure has a negative relationship with research and development investment. The result indicates that information technology firms may use less debt when the investment outcome is uncertain.

We differentiate the effects of passive institutional investors, which mainly refer to index funds that adopt a passive portfolio strategy, on firms’ innovation activities and innovation strategies. Relying on plausibly exogenous variation in passive institutional ownership generated by Russell 1000/2000 index reconstitutions, we find that, with larger passive institutional ownership, while firms’ countable innovation activities increase, they shift their innovation strategies by focusing more on exploitation of existing knowledge instead of exploring new technology. Enhanced monitoring by passive institutional investors through active votes could explain their positive effects on firms’ innovation activities. Increasing risk aversion on the part of passive institutional investors appears the underlying force that drives firms’ shift to incremental innovation. Our paper uncovers a subtle relation between institutional investors and innovation, which is largely ignored by earlier studies.

This book presents statistical methods for the analysis of events. The primary focus is on single equation cross section models. The book addresses both the methodology and the practice of the subject and it provides both a synthesis of a diverse body of literature that hitherto was available largely in pieces, as well as a contribution to the progress of the methodology, establishing several new results and introducing new models. Starting from the standard Poisson regression model as a benchmark, the causes, symptoms and consequences of misspecification are worked out. Both parametric and semi-parametric alternatives are discussed. While semi-parametric models allow for robust interference, parametric models can identify features of the underlying data generation process.

This paper investigates the effect of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) on the relation between institutional ownership (IO) and firm innovation. We find that US firms investing in innovation attract more institutional capital post-SOX. Prior literature identifies two SOX effects on the average US firm that could drive this relation, that is, a decreased level of information asymmetry (direct effect) and the consequent increased market liquidity (indirect effect). Our findings overwhelmingly support the direct effect. In particular, we find that the positive relation between IO and innovation post-SOX is mainly driven by passive and dedicated institutional investors. These investors benefit greatly from a reduction in the firm's information asymmetry but receive little gain from improvements in market liquidity, given their long-term trading horizon. Our results are robust to different model specifications, including difference-in-differences tests, which alleviate concerns about the impact of confounding effects to our conclusions. Taken together, our findings indicate an important policy effect of SOX, namely, the strengthening of institutional investor support for firm innovation.

This thesis investigates the investment preferences of institutional investors in the United States (US). In the second chapter, I analyse the impact of both firm and country-level determinants of foreign institutional investment. I find that the governance quality in a foreign institutional investor's (FII) home country is a determinant of their decision to invest in the US market. My findings indicate that investors who come from countries with governance setups similar to that of the US invest more in the United States. The investment levels though, are more pronounced for countries with governance setups just below that of the US. My results are consistent with both the 'flight to quality' and 'familiarity' arguments, and help reconcile prior contradictory empirical evidence. At the firm level, I present unequivocal evidence in favour of the familiarity argument. FII domiciled in countries with high governance quality prefer to invest in US firms with high corporate governance quality. In the third chapter, I investigate the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) on foreign institutional investment in the United States. I find that, post-SOX, FII increase their equity holdings in US listed firms. This result is mainly driven by passive, non-monitoring FII, who have the most to gain from the SOX-led reduction in firm information asymmetry, and the consequent reduction in the value of private information. The enactment of SOX appears to have changed the firm-level investment preferences of FII towards firms that would not be their traditional investment targets based on prudent man rules, e.g., smaller and riskier firms. In contrast to the extant literature, which mostly documents a negative SOX effect for the US markets, my chapter provides evidence of a positive SOX effect, namely the increase in foreign investment. In the fourth chapter, I examine the effect of SOX on the relation between firm innovation and institutional ownership. I find that US firms investing in innovation attract more institutional capital post-SOX. Prior literature highlights two SOX effects that could cause this result: a decreased level of information asymmetry (direct effect) and increased market liquidity (indirect effect). My findings support the direct effect, as I find that the positive relation between innovation and institutional ownership is driven by passive and dedicated institutional investors. A reduction in firms' information asymmetry is beneficial for these investors while they gain less from increased market liquidity. Overall, my results indicate that SOX is an important policy that has strengthened the institutional investor's support for firm innovation.
