ABOUT THE EVENT
Since 2016, our annual M&A Research Centre (MARC) conference is among the most selective high-quality conferences in the field and has brought together cutting-edge research and practice on M&A by leading professors and industry experts around the world. The papers presented at our conference are at the forefront of knowledge and of high academic rigour, as evidenced by a high acceptance rate in the top three academic journals in accounting and finance. Topics span a broad array of issues related to M&A such as deal structure from financing to integration, activism, regulatory changes, domestic and cross border transactions and corporate social responsibility among others. Following the success of the Fifth Conference in 2021, the Sixth Mergers and Acquisitions Research Centre (MARC) Conference was held on 27 June 2022, again in cooperation with the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI).
As of January 2021, four out of eight papers presented at our first conference in 2016 have been published in the Journal of Finance and the Review of Financial Studies. Four out of seven papers presented at our second conference in 2017 have been published in the Journal of Financial Economics, the Review of Financial Studies, and the Journal of Accounting Research.
We were happy to return in 2022 to a conference format in which all the presenters and discussants attended in person, but for those unable to travel to London were able to live stream the conference
