Learning by observing: information spillovers in the execution and valuation of commercial bank M&As

We hypothesize that banks become better able to manage acquisitions, and investors become better able to value those acquisitions, as these parties ?learn-by-observing? information that spills-over from previous bank M&As. We find evidence consistent with these hypotheses for 216 M&As of large, publicly traded U.S. commercial banks between 1987 and 1999.

There are a number of unresolved issues related to such a requirement, ranging from the costs of increased capital requirements to the best way to structure them.
