Abstract

We investigate the differential wealth effects of (1) full and partial control acquisitions, (2) nonreal estate, real estate and REIT participants, and (3) single- and multiple-bidder events. We find that target firms earn positive excess returns at the announcement of partial and full acquisitions, but acquisitions that result in control earn larger excess returns than noncontrol acquisitions. An examination of industry differences shows that real estate firms or REITs do not earn higher returns relative to nonreal estate firms. Our analysis of market structure finds that bidders that are not involved in an acquisition program earn greater announcement period returns than prior acquirers. For target firms, we find that those with a single offer earn higher returns than those with subsequent offers. A cross-sectional regression analysis shows that while market structure is important in explaining returns, the main determining factor for target firms is the degree of control sought.
