Overview: From the executive summary: ‘Using the proportion of the firm's founders that are dead and the number of people who founded the company as instruments for founder-CEO status, one finds strong evidence that founder-CEO status is endogenous in performance regressions. This shows that the direct effect of founder-CEOs on firm performance cannot be estimated correctly without accounting for the endogeneity of founder-CEO status. After factoring out the effect of performance on founder-CEO status, finds a residual positive correlation between founder-CEO status and firm performance.’ This paper discusses the use of instrumental variable method to better understand the relationship between founder-CEOs and performance.
