Item Open Access Effects of Foreign Acquisitions on Financial constraints, Productivity and Investment in R&D of Target Firms in China(Elsevier, 2016-12-16) Chen, Y.; Hua, X.; Boateng, AgyenimThis paper examines whether foreign acquisitions lessen financial constraints, improve investment in research & development (R&D) and productivity of the target firms in China based on a sample of 914 cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBM&A) over the period of 1994-2011. Using investment to cash-flow sensitivity to measure financial constraints, we find that foreign acquisitions in China are associated with a reduction of target firms’ financial constraints, irrespective of the ownership type of the target firm. However, the extent of financial constraint reduction is pronounced for non-SOEs compared to state-owned enterprises (SOEs). This study also provides evidence that foreign acquisitions improve Chinese target firms’ productivity and investment in R&D.Item Metadata only On uniform effect measure functions and a weighted multi-attribute grey target decision model(2013) Liu, S.; Xu, B.; Forrest, J.; Chen, Y.; Yang, Y.Item Metadata only Urinary and dietary analysis of 18,470 Bangladeshis reveal a correlation of rice consumption with arsenic exposure and toxicity.(2013) Melkonian, S.; Argos, M.; Hall, M.
