Abstract: This study examines the impact of M&As on the economic performance of merger-involved firms in Greece at domestic and international M&As using accounting data (financial ratios). The post-merger performance of a sample of acquiring listed firms involved in domestic M&As is compared with an equivalent sample of firms with similar characteristics involved in international M&As. The results revealed in general that the international M&As have provided a better post-merger economic performance for the acquiring firms than the domestic M&As, and in contrast to the general economic performance of all listed firms in this period also have had a superior performance.
