| 1. | 大坪 稔, Why do firms underwrite private placement shares of other firms? Case of Japanese firms, The 29th Australiasian Finance & Banking Coference, 2016.12, This paper focuses on listed firms as underwriters of private placement shares in Japan, and investigates why they underwrite equity of other firms through private placements. In private placements, underwriting firms cannot necessarily enhance their shareholders’ wealth, unlike the case of issuing firms, because they must incur costs associated with financial support through underwriting. However, they can enhance wealth when they acquire the control rights of issuing firms with a plan of business alliances after private placements. This result indicates that underwriting firms underwrite other firms’ private placements to obtain a synergistic effect after acquisition of the control right.. |

| 3. | Minoru Otsubo, Market Reactions of Joint Ventures and Subsequent Changes: Evidence from Japan, SIBR-Thammasat Conference on Interdisciplinary Business & Economic Research, 2014.06, This study examines whether the benefits of joint ventures (JVs) depend on the investment methods of their parent firms and subsequent changes made to the JVs. I investigate the relationship among investment methods, subsequent changes, and stock market reactions. The empirical results show that investment methods affect wealth enhancement when JVs change but not when they are formed. This result demonstrates the benefits of pursuing a combination of JVs formed by a particular investment method and then changing the JVs.. |
| 4. | Minoru Otsubo, Types of Joint Ventures and the Termination: Evidence from Japan , Global Business and Finance Research Conference, 2013.10, [URL], This paper focuses on the investment methods parent companies use to form joint ventures (JVs) and investigates the mutual relationship between those investment methods and JV stability. This study finds that factors such as parents' percentage ownership of JVs and their duration of ownership in JVs vary with investment method. This study also finds that how JVs terminate differs with investment method. This suggests that investment methods affect JV stability. Third, the study finds that when one parent contributes financial capital and another parent contributes assets to a JV in the same industry, the parent that contributes the financial capital is more likely to acquire the JV later. In addition, parent companies owning more than 50% of their JVs tend to acquire 100% of those JVs regardless of investment method.. |
