We study mergers in a duopoly with differentiated products and noisy observations of firms’ actions. Firms select dynamically optimal actions that are not static best responses and merger incentives arise endogenously when firms sufficiently deviate from their collusive actions. The incentive to merge trades off the gains from avoiding price wars against the gains from a monopoly net of the fix...
We investigate whether controlling shareholders expropriate corporate resources during a financial crisis using the data of Thai firms. Our results are consistent with the argument of Friedman, Johnson, and Mitton (2003) that the propensity to tunnel and prop is higher for business groups in particular if they are organized in pyramids. Specifically, we find that firms that belong to the top 30...

We document, describe and interpret changes in New Zealand corporate board characteristics between 1995 and 2010, a period centred around the 2003 introduction of the NZX Corporate Governance Best Practice Code. Unsurprisingly, the representation of non-executive, independent and female directors on NZ boards rose during the period, as did real chair and director fees and the importance of boar...
The paper shows that variables commonly used in takeover prediction models also help to explain the likelihood of several other restructuring events, including divestitures, bankruptcies and significant employee layoffs. This finding helps to explain the larger misclassification errors in binomial takeover prediction models commonly used in prior research. The results show that modelling takeov...
This paper investigates the effects of focus versus diversification on bank performance using data on Chinese banks during the 1996-2006 period. We construct a new measure, economies of diversification, and compare the results to those of the more conventional focus index, which is based on the sum of squares of shares in different products or regions. Diversification is captured in four dimens...

This paper investigates the relation between investment analyst recommendations and merger completion. Unlike the new issues market, we argue analysts’ incentives are skewed to issue recommendations that ensure merger completion rather than maximize the overall deal value. Using a comprehensive sample of completed and withdrawn mergers, we observe the direction and affiliation of recommendation...
In this paper we examine whether variation in investors’ demand for risky assets is associated with recoveries on defaulted debt securities. Our examination is motivated by the prediction of standard portfolio separation theorems that an increase in aggregate investor risk aversion is associated with a decrease in the demand for the market portfolio of risky assets. Motivated by this prediction...
