Large shareholders and market discipline in a regulated industry: a clinical study of Mellon Bank


Abstract: An analysis of the 1987 change in control at Mellon, which was one of only a few banks with a large shareholder. It finds that the large shareholder did not monitor the firm extensively before it experienced performance difficulties, but was able to enforce a management change when problems arose without having to acquire a majority stake.

Keywords: Stockholders; Mellon Bank;
