Mergers and acquisitions in the UK: a disaggregated analysis

Marcelo Resende

Applied Economics Letters, 1996, vol. 3, issue 10, 637-640

Abstract: The time series properties of mergers and acquisitions are investigated in the UK at sectoral level for the period 1971:1-1989:4. Two main sets of results emerge: (1) 1971:1-1989:4 the degree of persistence to shocks is uniformly low across sectors; (2) shocks are predominately aggregate. These two sets of results indicate that further analysis relying on aggregate data and short-term explanatory factors may be relevant.
