Corporate Control and Enterprise Reform in China

The completion of this research would not have been possible without the generous support of many individuals and institutions. These are specific obligations which I wish to acknowledge here. I would like to express my gratitude to my thesis supervisors. I am highly indebted to Professor Franz Waldenberger for his invaluable help and - couragement from the very beginning of this research project. Not only this research but I personally greatly benefited from his guidance and - pervision over the years. I am also indebted to Professor Ralf Elsas for his support and detailed comments which significantly improved this research. At the University of Munich, I would further like to thank Professor Joachim Winter and Dr. Florian Heiss for their patience and effort in - creasing my understanding of the econometric methods used in this study. Perhaps even more important I am indebted to them because of their c- tribution in shaping my fascination about micro-econometrics in general.
