Abstract

We constructed a theoretical model of the buyout behavior of a firm and tested it by conducting the empirical analysis of the determinants of the number of consolidated subsidiaries. Estimation results showed that the buyout action increases when (1) products and production technologies have complicated structure and R&D is intensive, (2) the rate of growth in sales is high but the rate of profits is low, (3) the fund for buyout is large, and (4) the motivation of executives is strong. We also found that the speed of adjustment in the number of consolidated subsidiaries is considerably fast and the increase in the scale of stock options increases buyout resulting in the increase of the number of consolidated subsidiaries.
