Resumen

En este trabajo analizamos la influencia del consejo de administración y la estructura de propiedad en la valoración de las Ofertas Públicas Iniciales (OPIs) en el mercado de capitales español durante el período 1998-2013. Tras controlar por otras influencias tales como la reputación del auditor, la reputación del asegurador y el nivel de información asimétrica, nuestros resultados arrojan un fuerte apoyo para la hipótesis de la influencia ejercida por la concentración de la propiedad sobre el nivel de infravaloración de las OPIs. Así mismo, encontramos una relación no lineal entra la proporción de acciones de la OPI que pertenecen a los miembros del consejo de administración y el nivel de infravaloración. Otras características de la OPI y de la empresa tales como el tamaño de la oferta y su estructura también resultan estadísticamente significativas. Finalmente, encontramos que el ciclo de mercado influencia la valoración de las OPIs, dado que la relación entre la rentabilidad de mercado y la rentabilidad inicial de la OPI es positiva y estadísticamente significativa.
