Abstract

This article examines impact of climate risks on premium paid in cross-border acquisitions. Results suggest that acquirors from high climate risk geographies tend to offer larger premiums. The results are driven by transactions, in which majority stakes exchange hands, and premium for control is paid to target firm shareholders. There is mild evidence that premiums for control are also higher for targets in low climate risk nations.
