| Tiivistelmä: | This article examines whether acquisitions by overconfident managers generate superior abnormal returns and whether managerial overconfidence stems from self-attribution. Self-attribution bias suggests that overconfidence plays a greater role in higher order acquisition deals predicting lower wealth effect for higher order acquisition deals. Two alternative measures of overconfidence are used: 1) high order acquisition deals and 2) insider dealings, and evidence is found supporting the view that average stock returns are related to managerial overconfidence. |
