Abstract
This paper shows that the targetʹs ability to reject the highest offer makes bidders unwilling to reveal their private signals. In particular, such ability precludes bidders from using jump bidding to signal their high values to deter competition. This paper appeals for an alternative explanation of the existence of jump bidding in takeover auctions.
