Request for studies on divestment for a meta-analysis

  • 1.  Request for studies on divestment for a meta-analysis

    Posted 02-17-2009 21:56
    Dear colleagues,

    I am conducting a comprehensive meta-analysis of the empirical literature
    on divestment and firm performance. While I have compiled an exhaustive
    database of published studies, I would appreciate getting copies of any
    unpublished empirical studies (working papers, etc.) you may have done, or
    are aware of. The definition of divestment used in my study is
    a "company's adjustments of its ownership and business portfolio structure
    via spin-off, equity carve-out, split-up, leveraged buy-out, or unit sell-
    off," based on Brauer (2006), Woo et al. (1992), and Buckley (1991).

    If you have any unpublished empirical studies relating to divestment
    (antecedents, consequences, and patterns, as well as any existing meta-
    analyses), please help me raise the quality of my study by sending them to
    me (eastray76@gmail.com). I would be happy to share with you the results
    of the meta-analysis, once the study is completed.
