Merger Speculation in Financial Media: The Valuation of Investigative Reporting

The authors study abnormal returns and volume in the days surrounding takeover speculation by financial media. Significantly positive price and volume responses 2 days after publication are observed. While most of this effect dissipates shortly thereafter, some excess returns remain impounded into the stock price. A study of the ex post takeover probabilities suggests that a positive response is justified, as takeover probabilities for such firms subsequently increase. This evidence is consistent with the idea that financial media speculation can facilitate the release of useful private information to shareholders. However, significantly positive excess returns and volume in the few days before publication also suggests that certain shareholders may benefit disproportionately.     

产品差异与技术差距影响研发溢出的理论探讨

在传统研发溢出效应假设基础上，通过技术差距将溢出效应与产品差异有机联系起来，并通过构建双寡头企业两阶段博弈模型对研发卡特尔、生产卡特尔、完全合作等不同形式合作联盟的均衡水平和福利变化进行分析比较。研究证实：当企业间技术差距较小时，完全合作或研发卡特尔能有效提高企业利润和社会福利；而当技术差距较大时，研发阶段的合作不仅无法激励企业进行研发投入，还会抑制企业创新的积极性。此外，与完全合作相比，局部合作具有更强的稳定性和可持续性，尤其是在产品差异程度较大的情况下，研发卡特尔最为稳定。     

Mergers and acquisitions in the hotel industry: A comprehensive review

This study aims to evaluate the current status of merger and acquisition (M&A) studies in the hotel industry and propose directions for future research. Forty-six articles were identified from ScienceDirect, Scopus, and EBSCOhost including 31 empirical and 15 conceptual articles. We review these articles from five perspectives, namely, journal/year distribution, methodology, research context, theoretical foundation and major topics. Findings reveal most studies on M&As in the hotel industry (hotel M&As) focus on performance, motivation and objectives. Developed economies (DEs) are the major research contexts and quantitative approach is the dominant research method. To this end, we propose seven research directions that cover outstanding themes as follows: 1) exploring M&A process, 2) M&A performance assessment, 3) identifying M&A impacts on stakeholders, 4) examining cross-border M&As, 5) examining emerging economies (EE)-based M&As, 6) investigating macro environment impacts, and 7) premium determinants and their impacts on hotel M&As.     

企业并购的财务风险评价研究

首先对企业并购中存在的对目标企业定价、并购融资、并购价值支付及在并购后对于目标企业的财务整合风险等财务风险进行了概述,在此基础上提出了企业并购决策中财务风险评价指标体系,然后构建了企业并购中财务风险评价的二级模糊综合评价模型。最后对运用一案例对财务风险评价模型进行了实证研究,验证了模型的可行性。     

企业家社会资本与企业并购的关系研究

随着市场体制的不断完善,中国企业并购的潜力被释放,由于企业家是并购决策的主要发起者与领导者,企业家社会网络对并购也会产生影响,这在转型经济的中国尤为突出.基于627家中国上市公司研究企业家社会资本与企业并购之间的关系.结果显示:行业内、外的企业家社会资本分别与行业内并购、多元化并购正相关的假设得到部分支持.企业家与地方政府的政治关联对于企业的省内并购、企业家与中央政府的政治关联对省外并购均具有正向影响.     

Merger and acquisitions in South African banking: A network DEA model

Banking in South Africa is known for its small number of companies that operate as an oligopoly. This paper presents a strategic fit assessment of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in South African banks. A network DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) approach is adopted to compute the impact of contextual variables on several types of efficiency scores of the resulting virtual merged banks: global (merger), technical (learning), harmony (scope), and scale (size) efficiencies. The impact of contextual variables related to the origin of the bank and its type is tested by means of a set of several robust regressions to handle dependent variables bounded in 0 and 1: Tobit, Simplex, and Beta. The results reveal that bank type and origin impact virtual efficiency levels. However, the findings also show that harmony and scale effects are negligible due to the oligopolistic structure of banking in South Africa.     

交易结构与交易估价浅论

对交易价格的评估,是当今收购兼并活动运用金融技术作为实务指导最为复杂的一个环节,运用现金流贴现法(DCF),在一定假设下获得估价区间,并以此作为衡量交易价格谈判的基础,是目前国际购并业务在实用理论方面讨论最多的热点领域。本文结合交易结构设计及类型确定,以贴现现金流估价模型为基础,探讨并购类型与整合效应的价值评估关系,及实证分析交易结构设计与并购估价的关联范畴。分析旨在讨论并购估价如何利用交易结构的不同设计使并购和约双方达到购并整合效果最大化。     

企业战略并购中的杠杆融资

在当前国际金融危机的形势下,国际资金市场流动性紧缺,资产价格大幅缩水,给国内企业并购资产带来了机遇,而采用杠杆融资不仅能迅速筹措到资金,而且还可以降低收购成本,迅速扩大企业规模,促进产业结构调整和优化升级.本文通过分析国内外杠杆融资的发展状况、主要特点、运作模式,提出了国内大企业应借鉴国际杠杆融资并购的成功经验,以国家刚出台的支持并购贷款的相关政策为切入点,充分运用杠杆融资的运作模式,推动企业实现战略性重组的发展思路.     

民营银行并购国有银行的动机、成本与风险探析

当前,在世界范围内特别是在发展中国家,掀起了一股民营银行并购国有银行的浪潮。这种并购容易产生现金流风险、信息不对称风险、政策诱导性风险、管理效率风险、并购失败风险。民营银行应通过以下措施和方法将风险消除,从而实现并购成功:结合银行实际,选用适合自身发展的并购方式;努力消除信息不对称;优化决策程序;妥善处理好与政府的关系。
