Abstract

This paper examines the causal effect of foreign acquisitions on various indicators of firm behavior using firm level data from Turkey. Firms with foreign ownership in Turkey have higher labor productivity, higher sales, higher employment and are more export oriented compared to domestic firms. The question is whether this is because foreign investors target firms that are high performers to begin with, or because acquisitions of control result in improved performance. To control for possible selection bias we combine propensity score reweighting along with panel data fixed effects estimation. We show that foreign investors indeed target more productive, larger and more export-oriented firms. Overall, evidence of foreign control on firm performance is very weak. We find that foreign acquisitions do not have an impact on labor productivity or exports. There is some evidence of impact on sales and employment, but this evidence is not robust to changes in the econometric specifications. Under some specifications, we find some evidence that would suggest that acquired firms were already engaged in activities that have a positive effect on post-acquisition sales and employment. We suggest that this evidence is consistent with a scenario of entrepreneurial exit whereby entrepreneurs prepare their firms for foreign takeovers
