本研究計畫擬針對2000年至2015年間全球上(下)市商業銀行進行國内與跨國併購為研究對象，特別比較銀行董事會性別多元化對跨國併購後一至五年的經營績效，並也針對併購當期銀行公司治理品質、國家治理品質、金融監理對合併後經營績效的影響進行分析，同時也認定共同決定上(下)市銀行進行跨國併購決策的決定因素。首先，本研究計畫預期公司董事會性別多元化程度愈高其進行跨國併購後的绩效會優於國内併購，特別是在主併銀行與目標銀行間董事會存在較大的性別差異性，更容易形成所謂的公司治理的外溢效果。其次，預期不論國内併購或跨國併購而言，當主併銀行擁有較高的董事會性別多元性時，在併購期間進行跨國併購時，則相對於國内併購銀行較有利於經營绩效，國内併購可能遭受到的負面影響。再者，預期較當主併與目標銀行在國家治理品質差異上存在顯著的差異性，進行跨國併購並與目標公司的國家治理品質差異愈大時，對主併銀行績效表現會產生負面的影響性。 Using the global data on public-listed commercial banks engaging the cross-border and domestic M&As over 2000-2015, this research empirically investigates the impacts of gender diversity in board on the performance of post bank cross-border M&As, controlling for a number of internal and external variables including bank's corporate governance, financial and deal characteristics, national governance, and macroeconomic conditions for both of acquiring and target bank while determining the key determinants of cross-border M&As in global banking industry. It is expected that banks with higher degree of gender diversity in boards would enjoy better performance post cross-border M&As, specifically in the larger differences in board's gender diversity between bidding and target banks. Banks with higher gender diversity of board would benefit from cross-border M&As more than domestic ones. Finally, banks with significant differences in the quality of corporate governance between bidder and target are expected to have negative impact on performance post M&As activity.
