Concentrated Ownership and Firm’s Performance: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Literature

Abstract

The article aims to describe the historical sequence, interrelatedness, and development of dominant and emerging research areas within the concentrated ownership literature. Moreover, it aims to determine the most influential articles, authors, journals, and countries in the field by applying a bibliometric analysis. The latter reveals that the future research concerning concentrated ownership should be more country-based and use consistent and more extended data sets. It should also apply different theoretical frameworks, profound institutional analysis, and look for cross-fertilization of ideas, which could be spread worldwide.
