Summary:Our motivation for conducting this research lies in the fact that studies of previous finance literature highlighted the different effects of individual monitoring mechanisms and the views of each author differs from the previous.

The data was compiled from various journals, articles and prospectuses of the 89 Initial Public Offering (IPO) firms.
