Abstract
dc.description.abstract
In this paper we analyse the moderating effects of family nature and pyramidal ownership on the
relationship between corporate diversification and performance in Chilean companies. Using a
sample of 104 companies listed on the Santiago Stock Exchange between 2005 and 2016, we
report a diversification discount. Second, we find that when firms are owned by a family, the
relationship between performance and diversification is positive. However, when family ownership
is pyramidal, the relationship between performance and diversification becomes negative.
