description This paper examines the effects of mergers and acquisitions on the firm’s operating performances in UK from 2005-2008. The performances of acquiring firms are compared with the control group of non-merging firms by employing a fixed-effect model.

However, significant positive effects of M&A are found in particular financial year and in certain industries.
