Journal Title: Asian Economic and Financial Review - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
This paper examines the market reactions to acquisition announcements in Taiwan land auctions. Empirical evidence shows that successful bidders can enjoy significant positive abnormal returns as a result of land auction events. Specifically, successful acquisitions in Taiwan land auction have an intra-industry contagion effect. The land size and the market atmosphere before the auction events benefit the stock market reactions.
