  • Mergers in the Digital Economy
    2020/01 DP Axel Gautier and Joe Lamesch Mergers in the digital economy CORE Voie du Roman Pays 34, L1.03.01 B-1348 Louvain-la-Neuve Tel (32 10) 47 43 04 Email: [email protected] https://uclouvain.be/en/research-institutes/ lidam/core/discussion-papers.html Mergers in the Digital Economy∗ Axel Gautier y& Joe Lamesch z January 13, 2020 Abstract Over the period 2015-2017, the five giant technologically leading firms, Google, Amazon, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft (GAFAM) acquired 175 companies, from small start-ups to billion dollar deals. By investigating this intense M&A, this paper ambitions a better understanding of the Big Five's strategies. To do so, we identify 6 different user groups gravitating around these multi-sided companies along with each company's most important market segments. We then track their mergers and acquisitions and match them with the segments. This exercise shows that these five firms use M&A activity mostly to strengthen their core market segments but rarely to expand their activities into new ones. Furthermore, most of the acquired products are shut down post acquisition, which suggests that GAFAM mainly acquire firm’s assets (functionality, technology, talent or IP) to integrate them in their ecosystem rather than the products and users themselves. For these tech giants, therefore, acquisition appears to be a substitute for in-house R&D. Finally, from our check for possible "killer acquisitions", it appears that just a single one in our sample could potentially be qualified as such. Keywords: Mergers, GAFAM, platform, digital markets, competition policy, killer acquisition JEL Codes: D43, K21, L40, L86, G34 ∗The authors would like to thank M.

Exposure to hazardous chemicals is not expected with normal handling and use. In particular, the cell or battery should not be opened or burned. Section III – Hazards Identification Emergency Overview: Do not open or disassemble cells or batteries or expose them to fire or open flame. Do not puncture or deform. Cells and batteries present a hazard only if mishandled in a way that causes damage to the cell or battery or compromises their integrity. Primary Routes of Exposure: Risk of exposure to hazardous materials will only occur if the cell or battery is physically, thermally or electrically abused to the extent that the integrity of the cell or battery is compromised. In this case, exposure to the electrolyte can occur through ingestion, inhalation, eye contact and skin contact. Potential Health Effects: If the battery or cell has been damaged or ruptured, the electrolyte solution, which is corrosive, could be released and cause burns to the eyes, skin or respiratory tract. Ingestion of the electrolyte can cause serious burns of the gastrointestinal tract. Section IV – First Aid Measures If you get electrolyte in your eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes without rubbing and immediately contact a physician.

  • Détection Des Vols D'essences Dans Les Contrats Intelligents Sur La
    i Détection des vols d’essences dans les contrats intelligents sur la plateforme Ethereum par Hong Huynh Essai présenté au CeFTI en vue de l’obtention du grade de maître en technologies de l’information (maîtrise en génie logiciel incluant un cheminement de type cours en technologies de l’information) FACULTÉ DES SCIENCES UNIVERSITÉ DE SHERBROOKE Longueuil, Québec, Canada, décembre 2019 ii Sommaire L’architecture des chaînes de blocs possède plusieurs caractéristiques particulières. Celle-ci est basée sur un réseau distribué, une méthode de consensus pour synchroniser les informations entre les membres, une cryptographie et un registre de données quasi immuable. En 2015, l’arrivée d’Ethereum a permis le déploiement de « contrats intelligents », c’est-à-dire des applications sur les chaînes de blocs. Le développement de contrats intelligents requiert la compréhension de plusieurs nouveaux concepts. En effet, une fois déployées, ces applications ne sont pratiquement plus modifiables puisqu’elles résident dans un registre de données immuables. De plus, chaque invocation nécessite un coût calculé en essences qui doit être acquitté par l’appelant. Un contrat intelligent frauduleux peut se servir de plusieurs approches pour soutirer un maximum d’essences aux utilisateurs avec peu d’effort. Ce comportement est défini comme étant un vol d’essences. Dans cet essai, l’exécution symbolique a été utilisée pour détecter les vols d’essences dans les contrats intelligents de la plateforme Ethereum. Cette méthode formelle a déjà été exploitée avec succès par d’autres chercheurs pour déceler plusieurs failles dans les contrats intelligents [1] [2] [3]. L’hypothèse de l’essai stipule que cette technique est en mesure de détecter les vols d’essences avec une efficacité d’au moins 80 %.
