Material ESG Performance and Bid Premium in Merger and Acquisition Deals

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the firm‐level and country‐level environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance on bid premiums in cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transactions. We document considerable variations in bid premiums. Higher carbon emissions are associated with higher bid premiums, suggesting that acquirers may perceive ...
