Includes bibliographic references. "While Canada has had some form of agency to review foreign investment activity and, in particular, the merger activity of foreign firms since the mid 1970s, there has been little analysis of the importance of such mergers. This paper attempts to rectify this gap. It commences by examining its importance by placing the intensity of mergers in context of other turnover activity such as entry and exit and comparing it to activity in the domestic sector. It then examines the extent to which mergers are associated with productivity and wage rate changes. Finally, it asks whether differences between domestic and foreign firms are associated with the environment in which the two groups function of with intrinsic differences between the two types of firms that are not explained by the characteristics of the industries in which they are located."--Abstract. gccst Multinational corporations gccst Conglomerates Caves, Richard E.
