Statistical Study of Mergers and Acquisitions of Russian Business Entities and Assessment of Their Integration Activity
Abstract
Statistics of mergers and acquisitions is a traditional direction of international statistics and a new direction of Russian statistical science. In accordance with recommendations of Eurostat and Organization of economic cooperation and development (OECD) for improving Russian business statistics as regards to methodological approaches to measuring integration activity of economic entities, the authors examined key directions of processing and analyzing information about integration transactions which contribute to the development of statistics on mergers and acquisitions in the Russian Federation. The paper presents statistical analysis of integration processes and primary development trends in the Russian market of mergers and acquisitions amid economic sanctions and import substitution, along with the econometric approach to measuring integration activity of Russian business entities. The article covers main directions of the statistics accounting and analyses different aspects of integration activities of the economic entities. The authors formulated suggestions for improving collection and processing of the data on integration transactions and suggested new approaches to collecting and processing data on merges and acquisitions for a more comprehensive and timely reflection of economic integration at the national and international levels in the global transformation processes. To classify sectors (branches) of the Russian economy by the level of their integration activity the authors developed a toolkit that is based on splitting the mixture model for probability distribution that allows identifying integrative branches of the national economy before and after economic sanctions against the Russian Federation were imposed.
