Abstract

The paper examines the evolution of the ownership structures and governance of Italian firms, from the second half of the 2000s to the present, with a triple objective. First, it provides an up-to-date, census-based, descriptive analysis of the ownership structure and governance of Italian firms. Second, it examines the effects of the reduction of entry costs on firm demography and the characteristics of those entering the market. Third, it shows the correlations between institutional context, governance structures and company performance.
