講題：The effect of cultural similarity on mergers and acquisitions

Abstract: We study the effect of corporate cultural similarity on merger decisions and outcomes.

We find that culturally similar firms are more likely to merge. Moreover, these mergers are

associated with greater synergies, superior long-run operating performance, and fewer write-offs

of goodwill. Our evidence is consistent with the notion that cultural similarity eases post-deal

integration. Our results contribute to the literature on the determinants of merger success,

provide new evidence on the impact of corporate culture, and offer a new approach to defining

firms’ cultural similarity.
