Resumo(s)
This thesis investigates the intricacies of mergers and acquisitions, specifically emphasizing
the impact of the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act on the regulatory
framework governing these types of deals. Considering the growing globalization of
businesses, the research examines the relationship between clearances from the Department
of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), as well as the effect of
transaction size on the likelihood of second request investigations by antitrust authorities. The
study makes use of a dataset of transactions covered by the HSR Act and uses descriptive
statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and Chi-square testing to investigate the relationship
between regulatory actions, transaction features, and the performance of the participating
enterprises.
