Abstract
This study takes the merger and acquisition (M&A) events completed by A-share listed companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets from 2006 to 2019 as the research samples and uses the dual difference method to test the impact of a “high-speed railway (HSR) opening”, a quasi-natural experimental event, on M&A premium. The results show that the opening of an HSR can significantly inhibit the M&A premium of listed companies in corresponding prefecture-level administrative regions. The results of the mechanism test show that an HSR opening affects M&A premium through two channels: “reducing information asymmetry” and “alleviating agency problems”. This study discusses the impact of an HSR opening on M&A, which helps to provide new empirical evidence for the economic consequences of an HSR opening from the micro level and provides a new perspective for research on the factors affecting M&A premium.
