The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between M&A and R&D investment in the Japanese pharmaceutical industry.<br>Theory suggests M&A may be positively correlated with R&D investment if M&A is motivated by synergistic gains, for example, economies of scale and scope. On the other hand, a negative correlation may occur if firms are choosing risk diversification strategies.<br>Using panel data of 63 firms, 157 samples from 2000-03 and probability models, such as a probit model, a logit model, and a count data model, I conducted an empirical analysis.<br>The major quantitative results are summarized as follows.<br>First, there is a negative correlation (substitutability) between M&A and R&D investment. This suggests firms are specializing in either an internal growth strategy or an external growth strategy.<br>Second, there is a positive correlation between probability of M&A and the firm size.
