In this video, Wael Rouatbi presents his paper entitled “The role of multiple large shareholders in the choice of debt source”, co-authored with Sabri Boubaker and Walid Saffar, and published in Financial Management in 2017. Using a large sample of French listed companies, this study shows that companies with multiple controlling shareholders tend to resort to bank debt financing. The paper also shows that this effect is more important in companies where agency problems between controlling and minority shareholders are more severe.

Social financial institutions aim to finance social projects. Examples of such institutions include foundations, microfinance institutions, crowdfunding platforms, credit cooperatives, and social or ethical banks. Their operating methods are highly diverse: foundations make donations, while social banks provide loans. Social financial institutions make their investment and financing decisions based on social, environmental, and economic criteria.
