Growth effects of cross-border mergers and acquisitions in European transition countriesZvezdanović Lobanova, Jelena (Avtor) Kračun, Davorin (Avtor) Kavkler, Alenka (Avtor) cross-border mergers and acquisitionsinstitutionsGDP per capitatransition countriesThis paper deals with the economic effect of cross-border mergers and acquisitions on GDP per capita in European transition countries for the 2000- 2014 period. Our analysis shows that cross-border mergers and acquisitions have a negative effect on GDP per capita in the current period, whereas their lagged level positively impacts output performance. We found that transition countries characterized by a higher quality of institutional setting have achieved a positive impact on GDP per capita.20162017-04-03 09:31:41Znanstveno delo65372ISSN: 0547-3101UDK: 339.727.22:330.12OceCobissID: 751364COBISS_ID: 12670492DOI: 10.1515/ngoe-2016-0019ISSN pri članku: 0547-3101NUK URN: URN:SI:UM:DK:OURTGDSEsl
