*Where is the correlation matrix? It must be presented and its coefficients analysed.
*Finally, there is another problem in the work of these authors and the main objective of the paper and the fact that the authors want to understand the difference between so-called public and private acquisitions. At the beginning of the development of the empirical work the authors must demonstrate to us that in fact the two subsamples are different in terms of the variables that will be studied. Thus, differences tests should be performed and reported to these two subsamples, only by so that it will make sense to perform all the empirical work later.
 
===Build Notes===
 
I started a new database called [[wrds]] for the major pulls.
===Ed To Do===
*Take a look at the dynamic panel
Note see also: [[Governance Measures]] ====Institutional InvestorsNew Measures==== From Thomson-Reuters 13F filings (joined using CUSIP8 and year, where available):*iisharestot -- Total number of shares held by institutional investors*iisharestop5 -- Number of shares held by the five largest institutional investors*iitop5prop -- Proportion of shares held by the five largest institutional investors compared to all institutional investors*iicount -- Number institutional investors*blocktot -- Number of blockholders (institutional investors with >= 5% of shares) From COMPUSTAT Fundamentals Annual (joined using CUSIP8 and year, where available):*gp -- gross profit*ni -- net income*gpr -- gross profit ratio*npr -- net profit ratio*csho -- number of shares outstanding (in millions)*revt -- revenue (note that this replaces the old revt variable)*roa -- return on assets (ebitda/totalassets) *leverage -- total liabilities/total assets*totalassets -- same as the old at variable but from a new pull*interlock -- 1/0 CEO is on compensation committee*mktcap -- Market Capitalization calculated as closing price (prcc_c) x common shares outstanding (csho) Thomson-Reuters 13F filings in conjunction with COMPUSTAT Fundamentals Annual (joined using CUSIP8 and year, where both available):*iifractot -- fraction of shares held by institutional investors*iifractop5 -- fraction of shares held by top 5 institutional investors ====Old Governance Measures==== The following governance measures are listed under firm variables below:  agovgoldenparachute - 0/1 for the CEO has a golden parachute (many missing) agovlimitabilityactbywritconsent - 0/1 whether governance has limited shareholders ability to act by written consent (many missing) agovmajvoterequirement - 0/1 for whether board members are elected on majority or plurality, which matters for uncontested seats (many missing) agovresignrequiredonmajorityvote - 0/1 "Indicates that a director is required to submit his/her resignation upon failing to receive support from a majority of votes cast (which, typically, the board may chose to accept or reject)." (many missing)  I tried each of them in a FE panel regression of the type found in table 3, like: areg tdc116l car5totpub car5totpriv agovresignrequiredonmajorityvote i.year, absorb(ceofirmid) cluster(ceofirmid) In each case, the sample dropped to ~2k (from 41k), and there was no significance for ANY variable.
=====Reference Papers and their data=====
**See above. This is the more general dataset
*Blockholders' data is reported by firm for the period 1996-2001: https://wrds-www.wharton.upenn.edu/pages/get-data/blockholders/
 
I used the first one. See [[wrds]] for the preprocessing.
===Restoring the old data===
acqi - current income from acquisitions in CSTAT
acq - cost of acquisitions from CSTAT
mktvalue mkvalt- market value
agovgoldenparachute - 0/1 for the CEO has a golden parachute (many missing)
agovlimitabilityactbywritconsent - 0/1 whether governance has limited shareholders ability to act by written consent (many missing)
