The Effects of Greenfield FDI and Cross‐border M&As on Total Factor Productivity (2016, background): “Bertrand (2009) reports similar results for acquisitions of French firms by foreign firms.”
How Swiss small and medium-sized firms assess the performance impact of mergers and acquisitions (2013, unknown): “While increased efficiency should positively affect economic performance (see Sharma and Ho 2002), increased focus on immediate cash flows may reduce R&D intensity (see Long and Ravenscraft 1993; Cassiman et al. 2005; Bertrand 2009).”
Performance of domestic and cross-border acquisitions: empirical evidence from Russian acquirers (2012, unknown): “…(for example, Ravenscraft and Scherer, 1987; Healy and others, 1992; Gugler and others, 2003), productivity (Lichtenberg and Siegel, 1987; Mc Guckin and others, 1995; Bertrand and Zitouna, 2008) or innovation indicators (Bertrand and Zuniga, 2006; Bertrand, 2009) – also lead to ambiguous results.”
Cross-Border M&As and Innovative Activity of Acquiring and Target Firms (2016, background): “In contrast, Bertrand (2009) estimates positive effects on the R&D intensity of acquired French firms, and Bertrand et al. (2012) find that acquired firms invest more in R&D than subsidiaries established trough greenfield investments.”
