Moreover, the results also show that U-shaped effect of state ownership with firm value, implying that the size of shareholders by state increases, firm value initially decreases and then increases.Practical implicationsThe study intends to provide the shareholders, managers and investors with clear guidance before their investment decisions.Social implicationsThis paper provides evidence that the agency costs may increase in firms with state ownership share.Originality/valueThis is the first paper contributes to the corporate governance literature by investigating the endogeneity effect between state ownership and firm value using 2SLS method in Indonesia.
