Abstract: | The winner's curse hypothesis and the competitive market hypothesis are compared as potential explanations for the observed returns to bidders in corporate takeovers (here as: t-o/s). The measure of t-o/s. competition comes from a unique data set on the auction process occuring prior to the announcement of t-o/s. It is empirically estimated that it is controlled for the endogeneity btw. bidder returns and the level of competition in t-o/s. deals. Controlling for endogeneity, it is found that the returns to bidders are not significantly related to t-o/s. competition. It is also found that uncertainty in the value of the target does not reduce bidder returns. |
