Abstract
External takeovers and the performance of regional companies: a predictive model, Reg. Studier 26, 545-553. This paper presents a model which explores systematic links between certain characteristics of external takeovers and the economic performance of acquired regional companies. Discriminant analysis is used to estimate the relationships for a sample of externally-acquired Scottish companies. Systematic profitability and employment effects are found. The classification of new cases is considered and it is suggested that the model could be of use in the prerecommendation phase of mergers policy investigations.
