    Abstract:

    In this paper,we frame two theoretical models in concentrated ownership environments to study the determinants on tunneling and managerial entrenchment. We find that: ( 1) When there are only agency prob-lems between controlling shareholder and minority shareholders in a firm,better investment opportunities, higher legal investor protection,and higher ownership by controlling shareholder will result in less tunneling.( 2) When there are dual principal-agent problems in a firm,better knowledgeable of controlling shareholder higher legal investor protection,and higher ownership by controlling shareholder will result in lower probability and lower extent of tunneling. ( 3) When there are dual principal-agent problems in a firm,better investment opportunities,higher legal investor protection,and higher pay-performance sensitivity will result in lower prob-ability and lower extent of managerial entrenchment.
