Keith V. Smith

Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, 1973, vol. 8, issue 2, 159-162

Abstract: 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.
