Download Mergers and Acquisitions and Productivity in the U.S. Meat Products Industries: Evidence from the Micro Data [PDF - <1.0 MB]

This paper investigates the motives for mergers and acquisitions in the U.S. meat products industry from1977-92. Results show that acquired meat and poultry plants were highly productive before mergers, and that meat plants significantly improved productivity growth in the post-merger periods, but poultry plants did not.
