Abstract

Using the non-parametric data envelopment approach, the long-run profit efficiency of nine pre-classified merger deals of merging and non-merging U.S. banks is investigated during the period from 1992 to 2003 for a sample of 359 merger deals. The findings show that, in general, large acquirers have and maintain higher efficiency scores than targets and non-merging banks. The results also show that merger deals that match least efficient acquirers with the least efficient targets could improve their profit efficiency 4 years following the merger event, which is different than all other merger deals. Finally, value-maximizing mergers are determined to be mostly large and match banks with clear opportunities to increase their future efficiency rankings.

Floegel et al. (2005) studied mergers that took place between 1993 and 2002. Their results show that the early mergers’ (1992–1998) bidders had 1.556 % average abnormal returns; however, the late stage of the merger wave showed −1.1079 % average abnormal returns.
