Abstract

Data analysis uses moderated regression analysis. This research found that, in the case of state-owned companies in Indonesia, the corporate governance index positively affected company value. In contrast, related-party transactions harmed company value. Political connections have not been proven to be a moderating variable in the influence of corporate governance index on company value. However, they are proven on the influence between related-party transactions and company value. Investors in the Indonesian capital market assess political connections in state-owned companies in Indonesia as increasing the risk that it will worsen the influence of related-party transactions and the value of state-owned companies.
