Abstract

This paper provides empirical evidence on the effects of cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) on the acquiring firms’ domestic performance in the U.K. and France. We build a new firm‐level data set that combines a global M&A database with balance sheet data for the years 2000 to 2007. Combining matching techniques with a difference‐in‐differences estimator, we find that cross‐border M&As boost on average acquirers’ domestic sales and investment, and they are not accompanied by a downsizing of the domestic labour force in either country. Further, cross‐border M&As in knowledge‐intensive industries lead to improvements in domestic productivity. Our results display some heterogeneity across industries and types of acquisitions, suggesting a connection between the motives for international M&As and their resulting effects. Ce texte fournit des résultats empiriques des effets des fusions et acquisitions transfrontaliers sur la performance domestique des firmes du Royaume Uni et de la France qui ont fait les acquisitions. On construit une base de données inédites qui combine les données globales sur les fusions et acquisitions avec ce qui ressort des bilans pour les années 2000‐2007. Combinant les techniques d’arrimage avec un estimateur de différence‐dans‐les‐différences, on découvre que les fusions et acquisitions transfrontalières augmentent en moyenne les ventes et investissements domestiques des acquéreurs, et que ceci n’est pas accompagné par une réduction de la main d’œuvre dans ni l’un ni l’autre pays. De plus, les fusions et acquisitions transfrontalières dans les industries basées sur la connaissance entraînent des améliorations dans la productivité au niveau domestique. Ces résultats révèlent une certaine hétérogénéité selon les industries et les types d’acquisitions, ce qui suggère qu’il existe une connexion entre les motivations pour les fusions et acquisitions internationales et les effets qui en résultent.
