Abstract
► We examine a sample of 8000 US and European acquisitions. ► We find that private targets receive a premium relative to similar public targets. ► We find that this private premium is more pronounced for smaller targets. ► We find that the private premium is conditioned on certain target and bidder country capital market characteristics.
