Abstract
This paper evaluates factors that encourage or impede cross-border mergers and acquisitions in banking. The effects of bank specific features, as well as bank regulatory factors, from both target and acquiring banks' perspectives, are estimated. Three comprehensive databases are combined to provide a unique dataset to study cross-border merger and acquisition activities of banks. Banking sector regulatory variables included make this study among the first to empirically and comprehensively analyze the interrelationship between bank regulation and cross-border bank mergers and acquisitions. The results indicate that both bank characteristics and country specific characteristics are important determinants of banks' cross-border merger and acquisition activities.
