This paper use panel regression techniques to estimate cash holdings. Refer to that estimation, from total 1828 observations, 672 of them set cash holdings exceed cash holdings normal. First, this research find that excess cash holdings has a negative effect on firm value.

Third to fifth, the negative effects of excess cash holdings on firm value is stronger for more concentrated ownership, for more dispersed ownership and for more financial distress. Overall, these empirical findings show that excess cash holdings can be a significant indicator of agency problem. Key words: excess cash holdings, agency problem, agency theory.
