Research paper thumbnail of Ownership: Evolution and Regulation We Have Received Helpful Comments From

This paper is the first study of long-run evolution of investor protection, equity financing and ... more This paper is the first study of long-run evolution of investor protection, equity financing and corporate ownership in the U.K. over the 20 century. Formal regulation only emerged in the second half of the century. We assess its influence on finance and ownership by comparing evolution of firms incorporating at different stages of the century. Regulation had little impact on equity issues or dispersion of ownership: even in the absence of regulation, there was a large amount of both, primarily associated with mergers. The main effect of regulation was on share trading and the market for corporate control. These results cast doubt on law and finance theories and suggest financial development in the U.K. relied more on informal relations of trust than on formal systems of regulation.
