Costly Signal In Open Market Repurchase: Evidence In Thailand, Thanawat Anavachapongpan
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Is There Risk Reduction In Conglomerate Acquisition?, Paskamon Luntavanich
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This study examines risk effect in conglomerate acquisitions through portfolio diversification framework.

With this finding, it indicates that asset diversification potential is also pronounced even when the two assets, i.e., firms from similar industry are combined together. In addition, our results suggest that risks are expected to decline more when diversified firms make further diversifying acquisitions than focus acquisitions but this evidence could not be observed …

Bond Market Reaction Surrounding Share Repurchase Announcement, Phasaporn Kitjakarnkoson
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
I reexamine the bond market reaction to share repurchase announcement. The wealth transfer hypothesis suggests that shareholders expropriate wealth from debtholders hence the debtholders should react negative to this news.

However, I do not find evidence supporting wealth redistribution effect in all bond attributes. Moreover, firm ratings of repurchasing firms are less likely to be downgraded …
