Characteristics of Mergers & Acquisitions – A Survey on Value Creation, Synergies, and Market Cyclicality

This paper identifies and explains pervasive themes in existing research surrounding mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and posits potential topics for future research. A primary goal of M&A is to increase shareholder wealth. Thus, value creation lies at the heart of the debate surrounding the legitimacy of M&A as an avenue for corporate growth. Further, in order to generate positive returns for shareholders, the transaction must achieve synergies – either operational or financial. The sources and relative importance of these synergies will be explored. Historically, the M&A market has been cyclical. The paper aims to summarize causes for merger waves and their impact on shareholder returns through an extensive review of existing theoretical and empirical research on the transactions. Finally, because M&A transactions often include additional aspects (e.g. restructuring, bankruptcy, etc.), I suggest future research target the impact of any added complexities to an M&A transaction

Distant radio galaxies in the near IR

We are carrying out a program of near IR imaging and spectroscopy of radio galaxies with redshifts of 1.5 and greater. One of its principal goals is to constrain the ages and star formation histories of massive galaxies at early epochs. The radio galaxies are drawn from the survey of 1Jy class sources by McCarthy et al (1989) and McCarthy (1990). The sample contains 18 radio galaxies with redshifts greater than 2 and an additional 10 objects with 1.5 less than z less than 2.0. The redshifts were obtained from long slit spectra with the CTIO 4 m. While the galaxies are quite faint (r approximately = 21-24.5) all have Lyman alpha emission with rest frame equivalent widths of 100 - 1000 A. Multicolor photometry in the g,r,i and J,H,K bands has been obtained with the 2.5-m Du Pont Telescope on Las Campanas and with the Hale 5 m telescope at Palomar. We have recently obtained near IR spectra, using the 4 m telescopes at KPNO and CTIO, of a few objects with the goal of determining the Lyman alpha/H-alpha ratio and hence the reddening

Infrared spectroscopy of extraterrestrial material: comparison with astronomical spectra of dust

Infrared spectra of components (CAI, matrix etc.) from type 3 carbonacous chondrites (Allende, Ornans, Vigarano) are compared with infrared spectra from astronomical objects (comets, zodiacal light, circumstellar disks and others)
