The Division for Development and Public Relations     Research Project Name: The freeze-out option: Partners: Surname   First Name   Courses   GOSHEN ZOHAR [Courses List] Research Abstract: In corporate law there is a right to a majority shareholder to buy  out the minority - freeze out - for a price determined by the  majority shareholder. The law provide the minority with the right to  petition the court if the price offered is not fair - the appraisal  right. Does the freeze out right distort efficiency and enable the  majority to expropriate the minority? In a joint research with Dr.  Zvi Wiener from the School of Business Administration we come to the  conclusion that it does not.    © All rights reserved to The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
