A note on the computation of the equity premium and the market value of firm equity
Heer, Burkhard; Maußner, Alfred - 2010

Conservatism correction for the market-to-book ratio and Tobin's q
McNichols, Maureen; Rajan, Madhav V.; Reichelstein, Stefan - 2014
We decompose the market-to-book ratio into two additive components: a conservatism correction factor and a future-to-book ratio. The conservatism correction factor exceeds the benchmark value of one whenever the accounting for past transactions has been subject to an (unconditional) conservatism...

Upward pricing pressure of mergers weakening vertical relationships
Langus, Gregor; Lipatov, Vilen - 2015
We modify the UPP test of Farrell and Shapiro (2010) to take into account the possibility that a merger weakens (or eliminates) a vertical supply relationship. After deriving a general effect of the merger, we provide an example of simple estimation strategy when only prices, costs and market...

The impact of horizontal mergers on market structure : evidence from the semiconductor industry
Siebert, Ralph - 2016
The U.S. and EU Merger Guidelines strongly emphasize the relevance of the "ease of entry" argument in merger evaluations. Up to now, very little is known empirically about how mergers affect entry and exit, and the resulting number of firms in the markets. We empirically test this aspect of...

Mergers, investment decisions and internal organisation
Banal-Estañol, Albert; Macho-Stadler, Inés; … - 2003
We analyse the effects of investment decisions and firms internal organisation on the efficiency and stability of horizontal mergers. In our framework economies of scale are endogenous and there might be internal conflict within merged firms. We show that often stable mergers do not lead to more...
