| Abstract: | Cash tender, cash merger, and stock merger takeover premiums for 1974-1985 are approximately double those for 1963-1973. Cash tender repurchase premiums also rose in 1974. The shift in both takeover and repurchase premiums in 1973-1974 is consistent with some events not unique to the takeover market affecting the capital markets in 1973-1974. The possible effect on takeover premiums of the Williams Act passed in 1968 is also investigated and it is concluded that it does not explain the premium increase. A comparison of the time series of premiums across countries is suggested as the subject of future research. |
