The Impact of Mergers and Acquisitions on Acquirer Performance: Evidence from Turkey
Despite this increasing trend, the academic literature on Turkish M&As is limited, especially compared to the large amount of US studies. This paper aims to extend this literature.

The research question is appealing not only because literature on Turkish M&As is lim...
متن کاملMergers in Sealed vs. Oral Asymmetric Auctions
In this paper, we study mergers in sealed-bid asymmetric auctions. By asymmetric, we mean that bidders are drawing values out of extreme value distributions with di erent means. We develop an algorithm to nd numerical solutions of the system of di erential equations for the inverse bidding functions at equilibrium. The equilibrium inverse bidding functions are found to have a singularity, a cri...

To demonstrate this point, we develop a model of international trade under oligopolistic competition and asymmetric information, in which domestic firms are informed of the local market demands, but foreign firms are not. By emphasizing two features of a merger between a domestic firm and a foreign f...
