The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of inside directors sitting on finance and investment committees on US Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) performance. The study is based on a sample of 60 US equity REITs of which 31 are the REITs listed on the S&P 500 and 29 are a random sample of non-S&P 500 REITs for the 2010–2019 period. I use panel random regression models, controlling for heteroscedasticity and group correlation, to explore this research question. For the S&P 500 REITs, I find a positive relationship between the percentage of inside directors on investment but not finance committees and performance as measured by return on assets. These results are consistent with Fama and Jensen’s (J Law Econ 26(2):301–326, 1983) claim that inside directors provide valuable information to boards about the firm’s long-term investment decisions. For non-S&P 500 REITs, I find a negative relationship between insiders sitting on finance committees and REIT performance as measured by both return on assets and return on equity. The discrepancy in results between S&P 500 REITs and non-S&P 500 REITs is most likely due to their differences in REITs’ sizes and phase in the life cycle which is consistent with findings from previous research (Zahra and Pearce in J Manag 15(2):291–334, 1989; Linck et al. in J Financ Econ 87(2):308–328, 2008) and with the hypothesis that the optimal board design varies depending on the nature and firm-level characteristics of firms.

投资和财务委员会的组成和公司绩效:来自美国房地产投资信托基金(REIT)的证据

本研究的目的是探讨担任财务和投资委员会的内部董事对美国房地产投资信托基金 (REIT) 业绩的影响。该研究以 60 个美国股本 REITs 为样本,其中 31 个是标普 500 指数上市的 REITs,29 个是 2010-2019 年期间非标普 500 指数 REITs 的随机样本。我使用面板随机回归模型,控制异方差和组相关性,来探索这个研究问题。对于标普 500 房地产投资信托基金,我发现内部董事参与投资而非财务委员会的比例与以资产回报率衡量的业绩之间存在正相关关系。这些结果与 Fama 和 Jensen 的结果一致(J Law Econ 26(2):301–326,1983)声称内部董事向董事会提供有关公司长期投资决策的有价值的信息。对于非标准普尔 500 指数房地产投资信托基金,我发现财务委员会的内部人士与以资产回报率和股本回报率衡量的房地产投资信托基金绩效之间存在负相关关系。S&P 500 REITs 和非 S&P 500 REITs 之间的结果差异很可能是由于它们的 REITs 规模和生命周期阶段的差异,这与之前的研究结果一致(Zahra 和 Pearce in J Manag 15(2) :291–334, 1989;Linck 等人,J Financ Econ 87(2):308–328, 2008),并假设最优董事会设计根据公司的性质和公司层面特征而变化。我发现财务委员会的内部人士与以资产回报率和股本回报率衡量的房地产投资信托基金绩效之间存在负相关关系。S&P 500 REITs 和非 S&P 500 REITs 之间的结果差异很可能是由于它们的 REITs 规模和生命周期阶段的差异,这与之前的研究结果一致(Zahra 和 Pearce in J Manag 15(2) :291–334, 1989;Linck 等人,J Financ Econ 87(2):308–328, 2008),并假设最优董事会设计根据公司的性质和公司层面特征而变化。我发现财务委员会的内部人士与以资产回报率和股本回报率衡量的房地产投资信托基金绩效之间存在负相关关系。S&P 500 REITs 和非 S&P 500 REITs 之间的结果差异很可能是由于它们的 REITs 规模和生命周期阶段的差异,这与之前的研究结果一致(Zahra 和 Pearce in J Manag 15(2) :291–334, 1989;Linck 等人,J Financ Econ 87(2):308–328, 2008),并假设最优董事会设计根据公司的性质和公司层面特征而变化。
