Tunneling, Propping and M&A: Evidence from Chinese Listed Companies

Basing the sample of 416 events in which listed companies merge or acquire non-listed companies in China stock market from 1998 to 2001, this article investigates the effects of tunneling or propping motives of controlling shareholders and local government to the long-term performance of listed companies. The result suggests that the MAs driven by motives of avoiding deficit or rationing shares can enhance the companies' accounting performance in short term.
