Exploiting the staggered enactment of country-level mergers and acquisitions (M&A) law as an exogenous increase in corporate takeover threat, this paper examines how a disciplinary market for corporate control affects accounting conservatism. Following M&A law adoption, we find increased accounting conservatism, with more pronounced effects in countries with weak shareholder protection and in those experiencing larger growth in takeover activity. Further analysis reveals that elevated takeover threats increase conservatism through changes in capital structure and investment decisions as well as improvements in board monitoring. Our findings highlight the importance of the market for corporate control in shaping financial-reporting outcome.

We develop and test the hypothesis that foreign direct investment promotes corporate governance spillovers in the host country. Using firm-level data on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and corporate governance in 22 countries, we find that cross-border M&As are associated with subsequent improvements in the governance, valuation, and productivity of the target firms’ local rivals. This positive spillover effect is stronger when the acquirer is from a country with stronger shareholder protection and if the target’s industry is more competitive. We conclude that the international market for corporate control promotes the adoption of better corporate governance practices around the world.

The monograph explores general provisions, theoretical economic and legal bases and all practical tools for alternative methods of judging economic conflicts. The dynamics of modern business at the new stage of economic development in the 21st century is accompanied by the emergence of various kinds of economic conflicts between business entities, and this is the reason for the need to resolve them. Inclusion of a number of alternative methods in the Russian legislation and economic practice is very actual and occurs with the perception of the positive experience of foreign countries. These methods of judging economic conflicts penetrated the Russian business environment in the process of interaction between subjects of the Russian business community with foreign investors and businessmen. A new scientific result is the classification developed by the authors of methods for judging economic conflicts. Classification is based on the principle of dichotomy, based on the criterion of legislative fixation of methods for judging economic conflicts, and forms two "branches". The first branch - methods of judging economic conflicts, regulated by a positive law: mediation, arbitration court, international commercial arbitration, claim procedure. The second branch is non-jurisdictional methods, regulated by soft law: "med-arb", "mini court", judge "for hire", financial ombudsman, discussion. This classification predetermined the need for a consistent examination of the nature of each type of alternative methods of judging economic conflicts, based on its attribution to a specific group of jurisdictional and alternative mechanisms.
