Abstract: This paper examines the impact of institutional ownership on merger and acquisition (M&A) performance of Chinese listed firms from 2006 to 2017. The results indicate that institutional ownership positively affects M&A performance, and so does institutional ownership concentration. Moreover, the results suggest that pressure-sensitive, large, and domestic institutional ownership have a greater positive effect on M&A performance than pressure-insensitive, small, and foreign institutional ownership.
