| Abstract: | The authors exploit cross-temporal differences in capital gains tax rates to test whether shareholder-level capital gains taxes are associated with higher aquisition premiums for taxable acquisitions. The authors model acquisition premiums as a function of proxies for the capital gains taxes of target shareholders, taxability of the acquisitionm, and tax status of the price-setting shareholder as represented by the level of target institutional ownership. Consistent with a lock-in effect for acquisition premiums, result suggest a unique positive association between shareholder capital gains taxes for individual investors and aquisition premiums for taxable acquisitions, which is mitigated by target institutional ownersip. |
