Hierarchical mergers of stellar-mass black holes and their gravitational-wave signatures

Nature Astronomy, 2021
While most of the compact-binary mergers detected by LIGO and Virgo are expected to consist of first-generation black holes formed from the collapse of stars, others might instead be of second (or higher) generation, containing the remnants of previous ...

Liquidity mergers [PDF]

Journal of Financial Economics, 2011
We study the interplay between corporate liquidity and asset reallocation opportunities. Our model shows that financially distressed firms are acquired by liquid firms in their industries even when there are no operational synergies associated with the merger.

Eccentricity estimate for black hole mergers with numerical relativity simulations

Nature Astronomy, 2020
The origin of black hole mergers discovered by the LIGO 1 and Virgo 2 gravitational-wave observatories is currently unknown. GW190521 3 , 4 is the heaviest black hole merger detected so far.

Merger Failure and Merger Profitability

The Journal of Industrial Economics, 1993
The focus of the paper is the effect of merger proposals on the expected profitability of the bidder and the target. We illustrate how an unsuccessful bid may increase the profitability of the target but reduce the profitability of the bidding firm, relative to the profitability of the firms before the merger offer.

Origin of the heavy elements in binary neutron-star mergers from a gravitational-wave event

Nature, 2017
The cosmic origin of elements heavier than iron has long been uncertain. Theoretical modelling shows that the matter that is expelled in the violent merger of two neutron stars can assemble into heavy elements such as gold and platinum in a process known

Does Policy Uncertainty Affect Mergers and Acquisitions?

Journal of Financial Economics, 2017
Using a recently developed measure of political and regulatory uncertainty, we document that policy uncertainty is strongly negatively associated with merger and acquisition activity at the macro and firm levels.

Merger statistics and merger policy

Review of Industrial Organization, 1984
It is widely believed that the 1950 amendment of Section 7 of the Clayton Antitrust Act has diverted merger activity away from horizontal and into conglomerate forms. Examination of the Federal Trade Commission Large Merger Series replicates existing substantiation of this belief, but only up until 1968.
