Geography of mergers and acquisitions in the container shipping industry

---

The paper examines the geographic dimension between acquiring and target firms to take into account the information cost which decreases synergy effects generated by M&As in the container shipping industry. The paper finds that the geographical distance has a negative impact on takeover flows. M&A activities were more intense among firms located closely each other. The paper provides evidence that the firm size raises the relative acquiring probability for inter-regional and cross-border M&As. While the existing literature suggests that financially underperforming firms are more likely to be targeted by a firm, the paper argues that the smaller and unquoted public firms are more vulnerable to M&As.
