Abstract

We investigate the impacts of economic importance difference of a JV held by partners and partners' size difference on the extraction of rivalrous and non-rivalrous private benefits in a JV. Focusing on 824 JV events during the period 2001–2012 in the global markets we find that, where the economic importance difference of a JV held by partners is large, a partner with a more economically important JV extracts more rivalrous type and non-rivalrous type of private benefits. Under the situation where partners' size difference is large, a smaller partner extracts more non-rivalrous type of private benefits. Whether arbitrage trading between two partners' shares outperforms the trading strategy of buy-hold two partners' shares during the JV announcement period depends on whether there are large private benefits available or not.
