This paper reviews the theory and empirical research on spin-off restructuring and measures the monetary value created by spin-offs. It examines equity price reactions around the announcements of 249 voluntary spin-offs by US public companies (2007–2017), finding abnormal returns consistent with earlier research. The study calculates that spin-offs created almost $100 billion in value during this period.
