This book presents an integrated theory of firms’ strategies and two types of policies,
namely environmental policies, and merger control policies. It develops a framework
to examine the intricate relationship between merger and acquisition (M&A) incentives,
merger control policy, environmental policies, and firms’ sustainability practices.
The chapters highlight the importance of policy coordination to underscore the link
between M&A and environmental externality, and the link between merger policy
and environmental policy. Drawing together related fields that are seldom linked
in the literature, this volume offers a comprehensive and authoritative reference
for scholars, graduate students, and policymakers.
