“…As a transaction-specific control variable, RELATIVE SIZE between bidder and target (Moeller et al 2004;Seth 1990) is defined as the index of bidder sales to target sales and deal value to market capitalization as a percentage. Other binary control dummy variables include (1) PUBLIC, for listed target companies (Chang 1998, Officer 2007; (2) CASH, for purchase price payments in cash (Faccio and Masulis 2005;Travlos 1987); (3) HOSTILE, for transactions with a hostile attitude (Franks and Mayer 1996;Loughran and Vijh 1997); (4) TOEHOLD, for previous minority shareholdings (Betton et al 2009;Franks and Harris 1989); (5) CROSSBORDER, for foreign targets (Goergen and Renneboog 2004;Rossi and Volpin 2004); and (f) CONGLOMERATE, for conglomerate acquisition direction (Healy et al 1992;Morck et al 1990).

“…The race for corporate control is particularly developed in countries or companies facilitating the access to private benefits (Bebchuk, 1999). Franks and Mayer (1996) identify four types of corporate control: large shareholders, complex ownership patterns, bank control in widely held companies, and blocks of shares. Moreover, Roehner (2005) shows that cross-ownership relationships influence the stock price dynamics, especially during crises.…”

“…Em muitos casos, esse mecanismo é combatido por medidas antitakeover impedindo o seu (suposto) efeito disciplinador. Adicionalmente, alguns estudos sugerem que não existe relação entre takeovers e performance, rejeitando a hipóteses de que as aquisições hostis têm um efeito disciplinador em empresas com fraco desempenho MAYER, 1996). Importa também salientar que os takeovers podem ser um instrumento de agravamento dos problemas de agência na medida em que os gestores interessados em maximizar a dimensão dos seus impérios empresariais podem desperdiçar os recursos das empresas que administram na aquisição, por um valor excessivo, de outras empresas em detrimento da distribuição aos acionistas (DENIS; MCCONNELL, 2003).…”
