Scale Versus Technology—M&A Effects by Firm Size and Ex‐Post M&A Time Horizon in Korea
Asian-Pacific Economic Literature, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the effects of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) on technical change (TC) and the scale component (SC)—the two primary constituents of total factor productivity (TFP)—by firm size and ex‐post M&A time horizon (i.e., short‐term vs. long‐term effects).

Collective Bargaining and Monopsony: The Regulation of Noncompete Agreements in France
Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Can collective bargaining mitigate monopsony power? This paper studies the extent to which collective agreements regulating employee noncompete clauses affect firm‐level markdowns in French manufacturing. Using a staggered difference‐in‐differences design, we find that such regulation reduces markdowns by 1.3%–2.2% on average.
