State antitakeover legislation and firm financial policy

Article Abstract:

Some US states instituted anti-takeover laws as a reaction to the proliferation of corporate takeover attacks during the 1980s. Attempts to qualify the effects of such measures on firm value have been initiated through traditional event methodology. Longer-term investment practices are thought to be used by firms less prone to takeovers. However, firms less likely to be targeted for takeover are shown to increase allocations for capital expenditures and research.
