本期主题: Hiring High-Skilled Labor through Mergers and Acquisitions
摘要：

In two natural experiments based on H-1B visa lotteries and a drastic drop in the annual H-1B visa quota, we document that firms respond to shortages of high-skilled workers by acquiring target firms that have such high-skilled workers. Additional tests suggest that these acquisitions are driven by the acquirers’ desire for the targets’ talents rather than their tangible assets or intellectual properties. Acquirers that successfully obtain skilled workers from their targets outperform acquirers that withdraw their acquisition bids for exogenous reasons. Our findings suggest that skilled labor is a driver of acquisition decision and a source of synergy gains.
