| Research Abstract |
We analyze changes in corporate performance from pre- and to post-merger. We find that TFP level, ROA and the cash flow ratio improve in non-manufacturing. When analyzing changes in performance from immediately after mergers, an improvement in TFP, ROA, and the cash flow ratio are quite evident in mergers between affiliated companies and mergers involving different industries in the case of manufacturing firms.
