We have blogged before (see here) about a then-forthcoming law review article by Professors Charles Korsmo (Associate Professor at Brooklyn Law School) and Minor Myers (Associate Professor at Brooklyn Law School) analyzing the value-creation resulting from the increased use of appraisal arbitrage.  The authors’ paper has now been published in the final 2015 issue of the Washington University law review: http://openscholarship.wustl.edu/law_lawreview/vol92/iss6/7/

While there have been some revisions to the final version, their underlying data points, arising from their study of all Delaware appraisal cases for the ten-year period from 2004 to 2013, remain intact.
