Title Global Mergers and Acquisitions Analysis: Impact of Firm Size on Deal Success
Summary Mergers and Acquisitions represent significant impact on the overall social welfare and major fields of economics: financial markets, labor, antitrust policy, trade etc. The detailed analysis of M&A’s holds high relevance, particularly in present time, when all the major investment banks report considerable changes and shifts in the business of M&A’s.
In this thesis I investigate how size of the merging firms influences the success of an M&A transaction. Unlike other existing studies, I divide the sample based on the region (North America, Europe, Asia) and also based on the amount of assets acquired (above vs. below 50%) to see how these characteristics influence the size-success relationship.
