Consistent with the importance of restructuring activity during the 1990s, we find that half of the sample firms are acquired or engage in a major divestiture. Consistent with the notion that economic change is a source of the observed restructuring activity, we find significant industry clustering in both acquisitions and divestitures. We also study the announcement effects of the two forms of restructuring and find that both acquisitions and divestitures in the 1990s increase shareholder wealth. Moreover, the wealth effects for both acquisitions and divestitures are directly related to the relative size of the event. The symmetric, positive wealth effects for acquisitions and divestitures are consistent with a synergistic explanation for both forms of restructuring and are inconsistent with non-synergistic models based on entrenchment, empire building and hubris.","PeriodicalId":272257,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Finance and Organizations eJournal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116768440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I estimate the value effect of diversification by matching diversifying and single-segment firms on their propensity score––the predicted values from a probit model of the propensity to diversify. I also use Heckman’s (1979) two-stage estimator for comparison purposes. I find that on average, diversification does not destroy value. This finding is robust to the choice of estimator, sample, measures of excess value, and specification.","PeriodicalId":272257,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Finance and Organizations eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128941478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, we study whether firm-level cash flow exposure varies with a regional or global market index in addition to the usual domestic market index. We investigate how this exposure varies with identifiable firm characteristics such international sales exposure and whether this exposure differs systematically across a variety of different countries. We also investigate whether the same model may be used to measure exposure in crisis and non-crisis periods using the Asian economic and financial crisis as a natural experiment. Our empirical investigation relies on a sample of 1325 companies from eight (non-U.S.) countries for the period July 1996 - June 1998. We find significant evidence of regional cash flow exposure across our sample, and this exposure increases in proportion to firm sales in the region. We also find evidence that even domestic companies are influenced by the stock market in other regions. Finally, we find clear evidence of increased exposure for companies with significant sales in Asia during the crisis in that region.","PeriodicalId":272257,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Finance and Organizations eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133423656","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study also provides new evidence on the ex post operating consequences of firms following the debt IPO that is consistent with the negative stock price reaction at offer announcement. Consistent with the signaling models of debt maturity choice, asset efficiency, profitability, and capital expenditures decline significantly following the debt IPO. However, sales growth is unaffected by the change in financial policy. Consistent with Myers (1977), growth opportunities, as measured by the market-to-book ratio, decline significantly following the debt IPO, suggesting that straight debt offers are made when the agency costs of debt are expected to decline. Together, the findings are consistent with the negative stock price reaction at offer announcement and provide strong support for predictions of debt maturity structure theories. These results are robust to whether or not the firm has a banking relationship prior to the debt offer, or whether the firm issues investment grade or high-yield debt.","PeriodicalId":272257,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Finance and Organizations eJournal","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126456959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, it is relevant to construct the annual cash flow from the equity point of view and estimate the annual returns to the equity holder but the usual simplifications for calculating the cost of capital do not permit the explicit estimation of the annual returns to the equity holder. In this paper, I relax many of the assumptions in the typical analysis, and provide a simple and practical way to estimate directly the annual returns to the equity holder. This approach requires the calculation of the annual present values of the future cash flows from the point of view of the equity holder. Two equivalent ways for calculating the annual equity values are shown. Most importantly, the construction of the cash flow statement from the equity point of view permits the analysis of the likely impacts of contracts on the risk profile of the project for the equity holder.","PeriodicalId":272257,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Finance and Organizations eJournal","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121696602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In perfect capital markets we expect no systematic relationship. However, Myers and Majluf's (1984) asymmetric information hypothesis and Jensen's (1986) managerial discretion hypothesis present imperfections and predict a positive impact of cash flow on investment in fixed assets. Aspects of corporate governance play an important role in both theories. We measure the impact of cash flow on investment for a set of Dutch firms and aim to distinguish between the asymmetric information hypothesis and the managerial discretion hypothesis. Our findings show that cash flow is an important determinant of investment expenditures. The impact of cash flow is largest for firms with low growth opportunities suggesting that the managerial discretion hypothesis is most at work in the Dutch setting. We also discern that the impact of governance characteristics on both investment and the cash flow-sensitivity of investment differ between firms having low and high growth opportunities. This implies that governance affects the managerial discretion and asymmetric information hypotheses differently.","PeriodicalId":272257,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Finance and Organizations eJournal","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126560819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper evaluates two particular events for the impact on German corporate governance: the privatization of Deutsche Telekom and the cross-border merger between Daimler Benz and Chrysler Corp. The Deutsche Telekom transaction had symbolic impact, because it made many Germans shareholders for the first time, but the terms of the transaction substantially protected these shareholders against risk and deprived them of governance rights. The Daimler Chrysler merger, on the other hand, is a major event in governance convergence because it should inject a substantial element of US-style shareholder activism into the governance of a major German corporation. The paper identifies several elements, including: the change in the shareholder body through a dilution of traditional German holders and the addition of U.S. institutional investors, the pioneering of a template for subsequent cross-border mergers involving German firms, the flexibility of German corporate law to shareholder initiatives, and the likely rippling impact of governance changes at Daimler Chrysler on other major German corporations.","PeriodicalId":272257,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Finance and Organizations eJournal","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126916111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper it is argued the relevance of different ways of connections among corporations. Particularly, by making use of the graph theory, it is possible to take into account the strategic allocation in a group of allied firms. Through this approach the attention moves from the \"number\" of graph edges to the \"importance\" of each individual edge. Our claim is that the different \"importance\" of links is captured by the concentration index that measures the asymmetric distribution of corporate links. Such an information allows us to understand the progressive elimination of edges not only with regard to the implications on the distance among firms, but also by pointing out the real solidity of the network itself. Empirical application at the sample of all listed Italian companies between 1983 and 1998, in order to consider the evolution of the interlocking directorates, is also provided.","PeriodicalId":272257,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Finance and Organizations eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130461071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This depends not only on the fractional size of the block, but on the whole distribution of shareholdings. We propose an alternative methodology to measure private benefits which makes it possible to weight the size of traded blocks on the basis of their strategic power. We apply our method to a sample of Italian block transactions and show that the traditional method underestimates control rents. The sensitivity of private benefits to net worth, leverage, and nonvoting shares is also examined. Finally, we show how to forecast the price of out-of-sample blocks of shares on the basis of information on company capital and ownership structure.","PeriodicalId":272257,"journal":{"name":"Corporate Finance and Organizations eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130901576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
