Ronald Coase, an economist at the University of Chicago, proposed a groundbreaking yet highly counterintuitive idea in a 1960 paper that is now known as the "Coast Theorem." The theorem presented a radical idea: it said that if initial property rights are well defined and transaction costs are low, private bargaining will tend produce socially efficient outcomes no matter where liability is assigned. That is, externalities can be settled by straightforward free market negotiations between parties. suggests a simple solution: no matter who is assigned liability, the doctor and the confectioner can come to a mutual agreement that will leave them both better off. is not always applicable: sometimes negotiating is so pricey that it is not feasible.

INTRODUCTION By almost any yardstick, 2007 was a record-setting year for merger and acquisition (M&A) deal volume.1 In 2007, M&A activity levels in the United States hit a record $1.57 trillion and worldwide deals totaled a staggering $4.5 trillion, a 5.5% and 24% increase, respectively, over the previous records set in 2006.2 Not since 2000, when stock prices fueled an intense burst of accelerated M&A activity, has the global M&A market reached such phenomenal highs.3 The boom of M&A activity has been driven by shifting consumer consumption habits, increasing investment from cash-rich private equity firms, and the convergence of media, communications, and technology industries.4 In light of the skyrocketing M&A deal volume in the United States, corporate pr...
