What happens to the bidder's share price in a takeover?

Trying to prepare for a seminar, just had a quick question...

'Would one anticipate the share price of a bidder to be affected by the decision to bid for a target? Can academic literature can help in answering this?'

I understand that the share price of bidder will decrease in hostile takeovers, anybody have any academic papers that can support this?
