We study welfare effects of horizontal mergers under a successive oligopoly model and find that downstream mergers can increase welfare if they reduce input prices. The lower input price shifts some input production from cost-inefficient upstream firms to cost-efficient ones. Also, the lower input price makes upstream entry less attractive, reduces the number of upstream entrants, and decreases their average costs in the presence of fixed entry costs. We identity necessary and sufficient conditions for a reduction in input prices and welfare-improving horizontal mergers under a general demand function. Qualitative nature of our findings remains unchanged for upstream mergers.
本文研究了连续寡头垄断模型下横向并购的福利效应,发现下游并购在降低投入价格的前提下可以增加福利。较低的投入价格使一些投入产品从成本低的上游企业转移到成本高的上游企业。此外,较低的投入价格降低了上游进入的吸引力,减少了上游进入者的数量,并在存在固定进入成本的情况下降低了他们的平均成本。在一般需求函数下,我们确定了降低投入价格和提高福利水平合并的充分必要条件。对于上游合并,我们的研究结果的定性性质保持不变。

Systemic Risk and Bank Consolidation: International Evidence 系统性风险与银行合并:国际证据
Pub Date : 2013-11-20 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1914352

This paper analyzes the systemic risk effects of bank mergers to test the “concentration-fragility” hypothesis. We use the marginal expected shortfall as well as the lower tail dependence between a bank’s stock returns and a relevant bank sector index to capture the merger-related change in an acquirer’s contribution to systemic risk. In our empirical analysis of a dataset of international domestic and cross-border mergers, we find clear evidence for a significant increase in the merging banks’, the combined banks’ as well as their competitors’ contribution to systemic risk following mergers, thus confirming the “concentration-fragility” hypothesis.
本文通过分析银行并购的系统性风险效应来检验“集中度-脆弱性”假说。我们使用边际预期缺口以及银行股票收益与相关银行部门指数之间的较低尾部依赖性来捕捉收购方对系统风险贡献的合并相关变化。通过对国际、国内和跨境并购数据集的实证分析,我们发现合并银行、被合并银行及其竞争对手对并购后系统风险的贡献显著增加,从而证实了“集中度-脆弱性”假说。

On the Welfare Effects of Exclusive Distribution Arrangements 论排他性分配安排的福利效应
Pub Date : 2012-05-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2069860
J. Eichberger, Frank Mueller‐Langer
The regulation of vertical relationships between firms is the subject of persistent legal and academic controversy. The literature studying vertical trade relationships seems to assume that an upstream monopolist prefers downstream competition over exclusive distribution arrangements. We derive precise conditions for when an upstream monopolist prefers competing distribution systems over exclusive distribution in the downstream market. We also show that the welfare effects of downstream competition are ambiguous. A downstream oligopoly may have negative welfare properties compared to a downstream monopoly.
对公司间垂直关系的监管一直是法律和学术争议的主题。研究垂直贸易关系的文献似乎假设上游垄断者更喜欢下游竞争而不是排他性分销安排。我们推导出了当上游垄断者在下游市场偏好竞争性分销系统而非排他性分销时的精确条件。我们还表明,下游竞争的福利效应是模糊的。与下游垄断相比,下游寡头垄断可能具有负福利属性。

Vertical Integration, Separation and Non-Price Discrimination: An Empirical Analysis of German Electricity Markets for Residential Customers 纵向整合、分离与非价格歧视:德国居民用电市场的实证分析
Pub Date : 2011-12-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1991819
V. Nikogosian, Tobias Veith
The literature on vertical integration in markets with regulated upstream prices suggests that the integrated upstream firm might engage in non-price discrimination. Several studies provide policy recommendations derived either from case study approaches or based on theoretical modeling which addresses the unbundling issue. In this study we analyze the impact of vertical integration of retail incumbent and network operator on retail prices and upstream charges. As the vertical structure is heterogeneous across the 850 German electricity submarkets for residential customers (there exist legally unbundled, vertically integrated or fully separated firms), we use firm level data to analyze the effects of different vertical structures and regulation schemes on retail electricity prices. We find significantly higher prices in markets with vertically integrated firms compared to markets with fully separated firms. This finding could indicate non-price discrimination. Furthermore, we find no evidence that legal unbundling eliminates the incentives for non-price discrimination because the prices do not differ from prices in markets under vertical integration.
关于上游价格受管制的垂直整合市场的文献表明,整合后的上游企业可能会从事非价格歧视。有几项研究提供了从案例研究方法或基于解决分拆问题的理论建模得出的政策建议。在本研究中,我们分析零售业者与网路业者垂直整合对零售价格与上游收费的影响。由于垂直结构在850个德国住宅客户电力子市场中是异质的(存在合法非捆绑,垂直整合或完全分离的公司),我们使用公司层面的数据来分析不同垂直结构和监管方案对零售电价的影响。我们发现垂直整合企业的市场价格明显高于完全分离企业的市场价格。这一发现可能表明存在非价格歧视。此外,我们没有发现证据表明合法的分拆消除了非价格歧视的动机,因为价格与垂直整合下的市场价格没有差异。

Acquiring Labor 获得劳动
Pub Date : 2011-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1571891
P. Ouimet, Rebecca Zarutskie
We present evidence that some firms pursue mergers with an objective of acquiring and retaining the target firm’s employees. We identify such target firms by the language used to describe employees in their 10-K statements, focusing on references to “skilled” employees. We find a positive correlation between the use of the word “skilled” and post-merger employment outcomes. Moreover, we find that it is the target employees most valuable to the firm that are relatively more likely to be retained following an acquiring-labor-motivated acquisition. Acquirers appear to retain the high value employees in acquiring-labor-motivated acquisitions by providing these workers with relatively greater wage increases.
我们提供的证据表明,一些公司追求并购的目的是获取和留住目标公司的员工。我们通过10-K报表中描述员工的语言来识别这些目标公司,重点关注“熟练”员工。我们发现“熟练”一词的使用与合并后的就业结果呈正相关。此外,我们发现,对企业最有价值的目标员工,在以劳动力为动机的收购后,相对更有可能被保留。在以劳动力为动机的收购中,收购者似乎通过为这些员工提供相对较高的工资增长来留住高价值员工。

Cross-Border Takeovers and Efficiency of Acquired Banks in Transition Economies: An Observational Study on Ukraine 转型经济体中被收购银行的跨境收购与效率:基于乌克兰的观察研究
Pub Date : 2011-09-29 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1935497

We investigate the impact of cross-border takeovers on target banks’ profitability, efficiency, and market share in Ukraine, an exemplar of a country with poor institutional quality. We rely on a combination of propensity score matching with the difference-in-difference methodology, and our main contribution lies in an additional sensitivity analysis that checks for the presence of temporary unobservable factors. Our results show that foreign investors have acquired Ukrainian banks with average efficiency and profitability, and that these indicators did not change significantly post-takeover. By contrast, foreign banks have targeted mainly large banks, and during the first two years following acquisition the targets’ loan market share and size even increased, whereas funding costs decreased effects that are robust for the presence of temporary unobservable factors. In line with Lanine and Vander Vennet (2007), we thus find that foreign banks are interested in increasing their market share rather than exporting their efficiency.
我们研究了跨境收购对乌克兰目标银行盈利能力、效率和市场份额的影响,乌克兰是一个制度质量较差的国家的典型。我们依赖于倾向得分匹配和差异中差异方法的组合,我们的主要贡献在于额外的敏感性分析,检查暂时不可观察因素的存在。我们的研究结果表明,外国投资者收购乌克兰银行的效率和盈利能力平均,并且这些指标在收购后没有显著变化。相比之下,外资银行的目标主要是大型银行,在收购后的头两年,目标银行的贷款市场份额和规模甚至有所增加,而融资成本下降的影响由于存在暂时的不可观察因素而变得强劲。根据Lanine和Vander Vennet(2007)的研究,我们发现外资银行更感兴趣的是增加市场份额,而不是输出效率。

Foreign Acquisition, Wages and Productivity 外国收购、工资和生产率

This paper studies the effect of foreign acquisition on wages and total factor productivity (TFP) in the years following a takeover by using unique detailed firm-level data for Sweden for the period 1993-2002. The paper takes particular account of the potential endogeneity of the acquisition decision (for example due to “cherry picking”) by implementing an instrumental variable approach and propensity score matching with difference-in-difference estimation technique. Moreover, in line with recent literature on firm heterogeneity in international trade, this paper allows for the acquisition effect to differ depending on whether the targeted firms were domestic multinational or non-multinationals before the foreign takeover. This paper also allows for the acquisition effect to differ depending on whether the acquisition is horizontal or vertical. The result shows that foreign acquisition has no effects on overall, skilled or less-skilled wage growth neither in targeted Swedish MNEs nor in targeted Swedish non-MNEs and neither if the acquisition was motivated by vertical or horizontal motives. However, the results indicate that both targeted Swedish MNEs and non- MNEs have better growth in TFP after vertical foreign acquisition only but no such impact from horizontal foreign acquisition
本文通过使用瑞典1993-2002年期间独特的详细公司层面数据,研究了外国收购对收购后几年的工资和全要素生产率(TFP)的影响。本文通过实施工具变量方法和倾向得分匹配与差中差估计技术,特别考虑了获取决策的潜在内生性(例如,由于“樱桃采摘”)。此外,根据最近关于国际贸易中企业异质性的文献,本文考虑到收购效果的不同,取决于目标公司在外国收购之前是国内跨国公司还是非跨国公司。本文还考虑到收购效果的不同,这取决于收购是水平的还是垂直的。结果表明,无论是在目标瑞典跨国公司,还是在目标瑞典非跨国公司,外国收购对总体、技术或低技能工资增长都没有影响,如果收购是出于纵向或横向动机,也没有影响。然而,结果表明,目标瑞典跨国公司和非跨国公司在纵向外国收购后都有更好的TFP增长,而横向外国收购则没有这种影响

Regulatory Arbitrage: Evidence from Bank Cross-Border M&As 监管套利:来自银行跨境并购的证据
Pub Date : 2011-05-15 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1849723
Huiyan Dong, F. Song, Libin Tao
Using a database of more than 2,000 international bank M&A deals completed between 1990 and 2007 and the unique bank regulation data collected by Barth, Caprio, and Levine (2006), we analyze the effects of bank regulations on bank's cross-border M&As around the world. Results suggest that banks have strong incentives to expand into lightly regulated countries, indicating that banks' international footing provides them a natural way of regulatory arbitrage. Also we find that the takeover premium is increasing if the target bank is located in a country with less stringent capital requirement, more independence of supervisory authority, and lower standards of disclosure requirement. Given that regulators are concerned about the shareholders of their domestic banks, they may lower their bank regulation standards in order to provide domestic banks with an advantage over foreign banks and increase their profitability. Therefore, our paper provides an explanation of "competition in laxity" of bank regulations in individual countries. Further, we provide evidence that there is no significant increase in the financial performance in the combined banks, partly due to the motivation of regulatory arbitrage of bank managers in cross-board M&As.
利用1990年至2007年间完成的2000多起国际银行并购交易的数据库,以及Barth、Caprio和Levine(2006)收集的独特的银行监管数据,我们分析了银行监管对全球银行跨境并购的影响。结果表明,银行有很强的动机向监管宽松的国家扩张,这表明银行的国际地位为它们提供了一种自然的监管套利方式。我们还发现,当目标银行位于资本要求不严格、监管机构独立性较强、披露要求标准较低的国家时,收购溢价会增加。考虑到监管机构对国内银行股东的担忧,他们可能会降低银行监管标准,以使国内银行相对于外国银行具有优势,并提高其盈利能力。因此,本文对各国银行监管的“宽松竞争”进行了解释。此外,我们提供的证据表明,合并后银行的财务绩效没有显著提高,部分原因是银行经理在跨板并购中的监管套利动机。

Cash Acquirers: Can Free Cash Flow, Debt and Institutional Ownership Explain Long Run Performance? 现金收购者:自由现金流、债务和机构所有权能解释长期业绩吗?
Pub Date : 2011-03-23 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1793094

Purpose - This paper investigates the Jensen's free cash flow (FCF) hypothesis in the context of UK cash acquisitions. Under this hypothesis, financial slack induces mangers to acquire targets for cash if such behaviour generates either pecuniary or non-pecuniary rewards for them, giving rise to a potential agency problem around cash takeovers. We argue that the stronger position of shareholders, as opposed to firm managers, in the UK should help in constraining such potential agency problems around such mergers. Compared to the USA, position, this should make the FCF hypothesis less relevant in the UK. Design/methodology/approach - This paper uses short-run announcement period returns and long-run calendar-time returns in testing our hypotheses. Findings - This paper shows that low leverage and high FCF may be advantageous provided shareholder monitoring is adequate. By analysing both announcement period and long-term returns, we show that acquirers with high levels of FCF are superior performers, and that any long-run under-performance of cash acquirers appears to be associated with low cash resources and low institutional ownership. Research limitations/implications - Inevitably, long-run returns measurement is contentious, although we present results from alternative models to mitigate this. Limitations are necessarily imposed by the sample size, meaning that multi-way partitioning of the data is not feasible. Practical implications - The practical implications are that the UK regulatory and institutional ownership regime may actually protect the interests of shareholders and mitigate agency problems. Originality/value - As far as we are aware, this is the first paper to systematically test FCF, leverage and institutional ownership effects in the context of UK cash acquisitions.
目的-本文在英国现金收购的背景下研究詹森的自由现金流(FCF)假设。在这一假设下,如果管理者的现金收购行为能给他们带来金钱或非金钱回报,那么财务宽松就会促使管理者以现金收购目标,从而引发围绕现金收购的潜在代理问题。我们认为,在英国,相对于公司管理者而言,股东的地位更强,这应该有助于限制围绕此类合并的潜在代理问题。与美国的立场相比,这应该会使FCF假设在英国不那么相关。设计/方法/方法-本文使用短期公告期回报和长期日历时间回报来测试我们的假设。研究结果-本文表明,如果股东监督充分,低杠杆率和高FCF可能是有利的。通过分析公告期和长期回报,我们发现,拥有高水平现金融资额的收购方表现优异,而任何长期表现不佳的现金收购方似乎都与低现金资源和低机构所有权有关。研究局限性/影响-不可避免地,长期回报测量是有争议的,尽管我们提出了替代模型的结果来缓解这一点。样本量的限制是不可避免的,这意味着数据的多方向划分是不可行的。实际影响——实际影响是,英国的监管和机构所有权制度实际上可能保护股东的利益,并减轻代理问题。原创性/价值——据我们所知,这是第一篇在英国现金收购的背景下系统地测试FCF、杠杆和机构所有权效应的论文。

Originality/value - As far as we are aware, this is the first paper to systematically test FCF, leverage and institutional ownership effects in the context of UK cash acquisitions.","PeriodicalId":249710,"journal":{"name":"ERN: Theory & Evidence on Vertical & Horizontal Integration (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126130214","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}

Vertical Restraints in Health Care Markets 医疗保健市场的垂直限制
Pub Date : 2011-01-26 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1748519
R. Halbersma, K. Katona
We analyze health care option demand markets with vertical restraints divided along two dimensions: naked and conditional exclusion, and vertical integration; applicable to the upstream, the downstream, and both markets. Our unified framework includes forward and backward integration, and joint ventures. We show that conditional exclusion has the same bargaining effects as vertical integration, but without the joint profit optimization. There are no individual incentives for exclusive dealing, but hospital-insurer pairs can find it jointly profitable to apply downstream vertical restraints on third parties. Outright downstream monopolization arises only when consumers have strong enough preferences for free provider choice.
我们分析了具有垂直限制的医疗保健选择需求市场,分为两个维度:赤裸裸的条件排斥和垂直整合;适用于上游,下游,两个市场。我们的统一框架包括向前和向后整合,以及合资企业。研究表明,条件排除与垂直整合具有相同的议价效果,但没有共同利润优化。对独家交易没有个人激励,但医院-保险公司可以发现,对第三方实施下游垂直限制是共同有利可图的。只有当消费者对免费供应商的选择有足够强烈的偏好时,才会出现彻底的下游垄断。
