Abstract:     
We model merger waves as reallocation waves, and argue that mergers spread new technology in a way that is similar to that of entry and exit of firms. We focus on two periods: 1890-1930 during which electricity and the internal combustion engine spread through the U.S. economy, and 1971-2001 the Information Age.
