The Bigger the Better? Merger and Acquisition Performance of Financial Holding Corporations

Chuang-Yuang Lin and Hung-Ta Lee

Emerging Markets Finance and Trade, 2010, vol. 46, issue 1, 96-107

Abstract: This study investigates the performance of the merger and acquisition activities of 14 financial holding corporations (FHCs) in Taiwan before and after their establishment in 2002. We find weak evidence of improved performance of FHCs. The findings have implications for other reforming emerging countries in East Asia with similar economic structures and financial environment.
