摘要: 投行参与并购重组既可以提升投行声誉,又有利于提高市场并购效率。本文基于关系契约理论,以2013—2016年中国沪深A股发生并购事件的收购方上市公司为研究样本,研究投行在并购中的作用。研究发现,现有关系契约构建的投行关系损害了企业长期和短期并购绩效;投行声誉提升了企业长期并购绩效;在声誉较低的投行中,投行关系对并购绩效的负向影响更加显著。低效率并购提高了外部投资者与收购企业之间的信息不对称程度,引发投行的逆向选择和道德风险问题,从而降低了并购绩效。本研究揭示了投行关系和投行声誉对并购绩效的影响,为现阶段政府职能部门完善相关制度,进一步提升投行参与并购重组的效率提供了经验证据和政策启示。

Abstract: The participation of investment banks in M&As can not only enhance the reputation of investment banks but also improve the efficiency of M&As. Based on the relational contract theory, this paper examines the role of investment banks in M&As by taking the listed companies of acquirers who conducted M&As in China’s Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2013 to 2016 as the research samples. The results show that the investment bank relationship established by the existing relational contract damages long-term and short-term M&A performance; the reputation of investment banks improves long-term M&A performance; the negative impact of investment bank relationship on M&A performance is more significant among investment banks with lower reputations. Low-efficiency M&As increase the degree of information asymmetry between external investors and acquired companies, which causes adverse selection and moral hazard issues in investment banks, and thus reduces the performance of M&As. This study reveals the influence of investment bank relationship and reputation on M&A performance, and provides empirical evidence and policy inspiration for government functional departments to improve the relevant systems, and further improve the market efficiency of investment banks in M&As.

Key words: investment bank relationship, investment bank reputation, M&A performance, relational contract
