摘要:This paper investigates the impact of international education exchange on cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBMA). Using a comprehensive panel dataset covering 141 countries from 2006 to 2018, we find that international students studying in China have a positive impact on China’s outbound CBMA. Such an effect operates through diplomatic relations, economic cooperation and cultural convergence as the underlying mechanisms. The effect of international education exchange is more pronounced for degree-seeking students than for non-degree-seeking students. Moreover, non-degree-seeking scholarship recipients exert a stronger influence on CBMA than degree-seeking scholarship recipients.
