The Gains from Corporate Selloffs: The Case of Real Estate Assets
研究了市场结构如何影响买卖双方从房地产资产剥离中获得的收益，发现买方仅在少量购买时获益，而频繁收购者无收益；且房地产交易比部门或子公司交易更易获得正向市场反应。
Recent financial economics literature has hypothesized that variations in market structure influence the distribution of gains from corporate restructuring between buyers and sellers. We test this hypothesis using data on restructuring involving real estate assets by isolating the effects depending on multiple versus single bidders, acquisition frequency and transaction type. While we find gains for both buyers and sellers, the buyers gain only when they make few purchases. Those firms pursuing an acquisition strategy show no gains around the specific acquisition announcements. Additionally, both buyers and sellers are more likely to have a positive reaction to the announcement when the transaction is property rather than a division or subsidiary.
