Abstract

Do relatively large members create more value? Do larger bid amounts represent wealth transfers or do they signal larger expected merger gains? We hypothesize that the relationship between aggregate merger gains, deal size, and bid premiums is asymmetric across mergers made by value-enhancing versus value-reducing managers. We use a large sample of bank mergers to test these predictions and find that the value response to different explanatory variables is asymmetric. Our findings provide new insights into how the market values merger bids.
