| Tiivistelmä: | The authors use a methodology robust to recent criticisms of standard long-horizon event study tests to show that bidders in mergers underperform while bidders in tender offers overperform in the three years after the acquisition. The long-term underperformance of acquiring firms in mergers is predominantly caused by the poor post-acquisition performance of low book-to- market firms. The authors interpret this finding as evidence that both the market and the management overextrapolate the bidder's past performance when they assess the desirability of an acquisition. |
