A brief survey of previous merger waves and an analysis of the recent one give support to the hypothesis that sectoral shocks are at the root of merger waves. Deregulation and globalization are identified as the shocks responsible for the latest wave. The impact of merger activities on profitability and employment growth are studied by using the DOME database which has been built up at the Kiel Institute of World Economics. On average, performance of merging and non-merging firms do not differ significantly. In smal&#173;ler, more homogenous sub-samples, however, substantial sectoral differences are found. The most important determinant of the success of mergers is the size of the target unit.</abstract></stdyInfo> <dataAccs> <notes subject="Terms Of Use" type="DVN:TOU" level="dv">Terms of use to agree before downloading .</notes><notes subject="Terms Of Use" type="DVN:TOU" level="dvn">&lt;b&gt;IQSS Dataverse Network Terms and Conditions&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;By downloading these Materials, I agree to the following:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt; &lt;li&gt;I will not use the Materials to &lt;ol type="a"&gt; &lt;li&gt;obtain information that could directly or indirectly identify subjects.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;produce links among the Distributor's datasets or among the Distributor's data and other datasets that could identify individuals or organizations.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;obtain information about, or further contact with, subjects known to me except where the use and/or release of such identifying information has no potential for constituting an unwarranted invasion of privacy and/or breach of confidentiality.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; &lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;I agree not to download any Materials where prohibited by applicable law.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;I agree not to use the Materials in any way prohibited by applicable law.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;I agree that any books, articles, conference papers, theses, dissertations, reports, or other publications that I create which employ data reference the bibliographic citation accompanying this data.
