“…The prevailing literature on corporate governance usually investigates the ownership and control structures by looking at the concentration of ownership within corporations (Berle and Means, 1932;Granovetter, 1995;La Porta et al, 1998, 1999Djankov et al, 2008;Wang and Szirmai, 2008;Gatti, 2009;Wang, 2009; see also the essays contained in Dosi et al, 1998). Here we build on the literature on ownership and control networks (Corrado and Zollo, 2006;Carroll, 2007;Vitali et al, 2011;Heemskerk and Takes, 2016;Brancaccio et al, 2018;Glattfelder and Battiston, 2019;van Lidth de Jeude et al, 2019) and focus on the socalled "network control" or "net-control".…”
