This chapter reviews the growing empirical literature on shareholder activism by hedge funds. The aim is a comparative approach contrasting the impact of hedge fund activism on target firms with outcomes for other types of activist investors. Following recent research, the chapter provides an empirical analysis based on the disclosure of equity blockholdings by activist investors in a large sample of all US listed companies. In addition, it summarizes which types of investors engage in other events linked to activism, such as takeovers, proxy contests, or shareholder proposals. Overall, there is evidence that not only hedge funds but also other types of investors can be effective monitors, but there are nuanced differences with respect to targeting decisions and payout policies.

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive idea on peg regime where its actual costs and benefits have been analyzed. The object of the study is to give an overview towards the country’s economy and where it is facing due to the involvement of peg regime. Many reviews have been accomplished in this matter and people have written a lot about the peg regime, also about its misalignment. But after consultation with the scholars and traders anything spoken would not be valid unless it has been presented with empirical analysis for any kind of change to be forwarded in order to review the existing peg regime. This paper has solely highlighted the cost and benefits and it does not challenge any economists or scholars who have different views regarding the matter.
