Current Academic Research on Activist Investing

We update our bibliography of activist investing research every few months. Since we last did so in November 2014, we've seen several interesting and useful papers, so it makes sense to do it again. How about some beach or lake reading? 

 

The bibliography represents the best recent scholarly work on two significant questions: the impact of activist investing on shareholder returns, and the impact of corp gov improvements on shareholder returns. 

 

We highlight a few papers in our weekly digest of activist investing news and commentary. We add the best of these papers to the bibliography. 

 

We summarize these additions in our current blog post.
