Activist hedge funds play a central role in the market for corporate control. An activist campaign makes a targeted firm substantially more likely to receive an acquisition proposal, both because it attracts third-party bidders and because activist hedge funds often bid for the firm themselves. Activists foster acquisition activity at targeted firms through the intensity of their engagement with management, their prior experience in activism mergers, and the targets' policy improvements in response to activist intervention.
