摘要：While cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) involving emerging markets have been increasing in recent years, a high percentage collapse before completion. This study investigates how the predictors of cross-border M&A completion involving emerging markets depend upon the direction of global expansion, i.e., investment inbound to a developing market or outbound from a developing market. Analysis based on 15 years of data from four emerging economies, Brazil, Russia, India, and China, fro...

摘要：This article examines the association between the market for corporate control and firm dividend policies. Specifically, we examine changes in firms' dividend payouts following a plausibly exogenous shock to the threat of takeover with the staggered initiation of country-level merger and acquisition (M&A) laws. Using a global sample of firms across 34 countries, we find that both the likelihood and the amount of dividends decrease significantly after the initiation of an M&A law in a country. ...

摘要：Intermittent exporting is something of a puzzle. In theory, exporting represents a major commitment, and is often the starting point for further internationalization. However, intermittent exporters exit and subsequently re-enter exporting, sometimes frequently.

The overall conclusion is that several issues have to be addressed regarding the relationship between business networks and firms' internationalization, the meaning of entrepreneurship as well as the possibility to combin...

This implies that foreign direct investment is capable of facilitating a race to the bottom and a race to the top simultaneously. Using novel and detailed data, we test whether environmental capabilities and weaknesses and other characteristics affect US firms' foreign direct investment choices i...
