M&A and innovation: The role of integration and cultural differences—A central European targets perspective (2016, background): “…the main motive of cross-border M&A – i.e. access to new markets – the acquisition of technology and knowhow became more important in the last decades (Bertrand & Zuniga, 2006; Cassiman, Colombo, Garrone, & Veugelers, 2005; Makri, Hitt, & Lane, 2010; Grimpe & Hussinger, 2013), and M&A can be seen…”
Cross-Border M&As and Innovative Activity of Acquiring and Target Firms (2016, background): “In an industry-level study, Bertrand and Zuniga (2006) find some positive effects on R&D in the acquirers’ sector in the source country which mainly stem from industries with a medium technological intensity.”
Performance of domestic and cross-border acquisitions: empirical evidence from Russian acquirers (2012, methodology): “…dynamic GMM estimation – for studies that implement GMM when analysing M&As, see for example Harris and Robinson (2002), Gugler and Yurtoglu (2004), Bertrand and Zuniga (2006) or Hakkala and others (2007) – since the GMM technique allows us to correct for simultaneity, dynamic and firm effects…”
