Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 October 2009
Extract
Professors Nielsen and Melicher (N-M) have conducted well an interesting study of merger premiums as related to various measures of synergy connected with those mergers. Their study is another in a growing body of literature concerned with the merger phenomenon which increased substantially during the sixties and has continued into this decade. In order to provide an evaluation of their study, I shall consider their choice of research design and their analysis of research findings.
