Abstract

LOVE J. H. (1989) External takeover and regional economic development: a survey and critique, Reg. Studies 23, 000–00. This paper offers a review and critique of the literature on the impact on regional development of increasing external control brought about by external acquisition. External control is shown to be an important and pervasive phenomenon, and acquisition an increasingly important method by which external control may grow. The existing economics literature on mergers is shown to provide an unsuitable framework for analysis at the regional level, and it is noted that while external control has been widely studied, relatively little systematic research has been undertaken to quantify the economic effects of inward acquisition. An agenda of research priorities is proposed.
