“…Because the financial performance of a firm is influenced by macroeconomic factors such as the business cycle (Becketti, 1986;Komlenovic, Mamun, & Mishra, 2011;Maule, 1968), we included the gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate as a proxy. We also included the log of GDP per capita to control for the economic development level of each country.…”

“…Esto se debe a que las políticas macroeconómicas pueden aumentar o disminuir el costo de realizar negocios empresariales, lo que puede conllevar a los administradores a sincronizar sus decisiones de adquisición con base en el movimiento de variables macroeconómicas (Dunning, 2009;Uddin y Boateng, 2011). Al respecto, investigadores han tratado de explicar las razones que contribuyen al crecimiento de las FyA en el nivel macroeconómico a partir de variables que incluyen el PIB (Di Giovanni, 2005;Pablo, 2009;Uddin y Boateng, 2011;Gugler et al, 2012), las tasas de interés (Becketti, 1986;Yagil, 1996;Wang, 2008), los índices bursátiles (Melicher et al, 1983;Komlenovic et al 2009), los agregados monetarios (Becketti, 1986;Uddin y Boateng, 2011;Boateng et al, 2014), la inflación (Wang, 2008;Višić et al, 2011) y la tasa de cambio (Di Giovanni, 2005;Pablo, 2009).…”

“…De acuerdo con lo anterior, se puede inferir que la relación del ciclo económico con el número de FyA se puede observar por medio de dos canales. El primero argumenta que el incremento en la actividad económica actual sugiere un aumento de la demanda agregada a futuro, por tanto, es lógico pensar que cambios positivos en la demanda de ciertas industrias pueden llevar a aumentos en la cantidad de FyA (Becketti, 1986;Harford, 2005;Cook, 2007;Komlenovic et al 2009). Según Melicher et al (1983) de ser cierta esta teoría, en un ambiente de optimismo acerca de la futura condición de la economía, las empresas se fusionan para ganar capacidad operacional, lo cual se traduce en un incremento en la producción industrial.…”

“…Aside from the four instruments suggested by these theories, in the first‐stage regressions we used several other control variables that the merger literature finds to be significantly associated with merger activity, which are: (1) business cycle proxy ( cycle ) (Becketti ; Komlenovic et al. ), which we proxy using the Chicago Fed National Activity Index; (2) industry capacity utilization (Andrade and Stafford ) ( caputil ); (3) industry concentration ratio ( conc ) following Andrade and Stafford (); (4) cash ( cash ) following Harford (); and (5) a proxy of financing constraints – the value‐weighted average of debt to equity ( d/e ) ratio of the firms in the industry. We specify our models below where the predicted values of FOCUSED and UNFOCUSED from the first‐stage regressions are used as the instruments in the second stage.
