A binomial model for the valuation of corporate voting rights

Article Abstract:

The value that an individual shareholder gives to voting rights is modeled using general assumptions about control and the existence of a heterogeneity of investor opinions about competitors for corporate control. The models show that an investor's conception of value during voting would depend on his estimate of the wealth benefits that would accrue to him as a result of the outcome of the election. Results are consistent with conclusions derived from other empirical studies.

Article Abstract:

The ability to ascertain share valuation is highly dependant on dividends. A model for determining this information can be constructed using geometric Brownian motion, with tax changes accounted for with a Poisson process. This theoretical application is a contribution to research involving tax-adjusted share valuation.
