The table below shows a sample of 100 companies firms that were targets of tender offers during the period 1975–1985. A tender offer is an offer to purchase some or all of shareholders' shares in a corporation. The price offered is usually at a premium to the market price. Conduct an analysis where the response variable represents the number of bids (BIDS) received preceding the takeover of the firm. The explanatory variables include the bid premium (PREMIUM) and firm size (SIZE). In general, it is reasonable to expect that a high initial bid premium, defined as the percentage excess of the firm's stock price, would discourage subsequent bids. Additionally, while tender offers for large corporations are likely to receive more media exposure and thus attract the attention of opportunistic bidders, the size of the firm also will act as deterrence mechanism given the wealth constraint that will impose to potential bidders.
