Japanese firms' overpayments for cross-border acquisitions
U.S. and European research suggests that firms tend to overpay when acquiring cross-border targets. Our research focuses on an Asian setting. We find that Japanese acquirers pay significantly higher premiums for cross-border targets than for domestic ones. We also find that, in the case of acquisitions of domestic firms, acquirers that are laden with debt or that have higher market-to-book ratios (which signals their attractiveness) pay lower premiums. By contrast, we find that in the case of cross-border acquisitions, neither variable has a significant impact on premiums, which suggests that premiums are not set efficiently for cross-border acquisitions.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
