The same is true noncommon (NCO) just one firm. Both CCO NCOs thus have incentives acquire any shares held owners. Our yields two testable empirical predictions. First, equilibrium structure noncompetitive industries should be systematically more than competitive industries. Second, within investment portfolio institutional investors, holdings
