Author

  • Otsubo, Minoru

Abstract

This study examines whether and how Japanese carve-outs enhance the wealth of their parent companies’ shareholders. In considering the differences between U.S. and Japanese carve-outs, this paper focuses on financing opportunities in carve-outs and tests the parent financing hypothesis and the subsidiary financing hypothesis.
