Abstract: | This study examines the relation btw. the degree of short sale constraints (here as: d-of-s-s-cs.) for acquiring firms' (as: acq-fs.) equity and post-takeover stock performance. Among others, it is found that negative long-run abnormal returns appear to decline in economic and statistical terms as the extent and persistence of institutional block-holder ownership increase, after accounting for the size, book-to-market and method of payment effects. This evidence implies that the d-of-s-s-cs. serves as an important determinant of acq-fs.' short-run overpricing. |
