Abstract

This research analyses the impact of founding-family ownership on financial performance, using data from 131 Chilean non-financial firms listed on the Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago, in the period 2005-2014. The results illus- trate a positive relationship between founder-family and performance, either by market or accounting performance. Moreover, the presence of the founder or a member of the founding family in the position of CEO or chairman of the board generates an increase in financial performance.
