This paper focuses on the trends and determinants of merger and acquisition (M&A) deal flows from acquiring firms located in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan to target firms across these boundaries. Based on gravity hypotheses – that larger target market sizes increase M&A activity and greater distance (cultural, administrative, geographic, and economic differences) between acquirer and target decrease activity – statistical techniques are used to provide a “first cut” identification of motivations for M&A activity and of tendencies for acquirer firms to pay more or less than a theoretical standardized M&A event based on the results.
