摘要
We examine the effects of venture capital (VC) backing on the market responses to M&A events among a group of Chinese firms listed on ChiNext. We find a positive market response to M&A carried out by the companies backed by venture capital and this effect is robust after we address the endogeneity by employing Heckman two-stage approach. Our results support the notion that the involvement of VCs in their portfolio companies alleviates the information asymmetry problem.
