“…This distinction is important given the increased complexity of cross-border M&As, which embed greater information asymmetry and a higher risk of improper evaluation compared with domestic operations (Gatignon and Anderson, 1988). Moreover, monitoring the target by the acquirer is even more difficult in cross-border deals as the cost of acquiring reliable and objective information to monitor the target in the post-acquisition phase increases considerably (Fama and Jensen, 1983;Cho and Ahn, 2017). Within this framework, extra-financial information is likely to be especially valuable in the assessment of foreign targets.…”

In line with these results, findings suggest stock payments may be beneficial in cross-border deals whenever the target is located in a weak institutional environment and when cultural distance is significant (Cho and Ahn 2017). Despite the above considerations, this explanation does not shed light on the opportunistic behavior of the acquirer when negotiating with less informed targets (Shleifer and Vishny 2003).…”

“…The extent literature also has recognised the importance of event study to measure the effect of announcement of merger and acquisition (M&A) on shareholders' wealth. Cho and Ahn (2017) investigated the role of stock payment that results in ownership sharing foreign targets. They found that stock payment in cross-border M&As has a detrimental effect on shareholder value because of the negative signalling effect and stock payment can be beneficial when a foreign target located in a weaker institutional environment and when the cultural distance is large.…”
