Mergers and Acquisitions in the Energy Sector - The Impact of Synergy Disclosures on Shareholder Wealth and Operating Performance

This book analyzes the value-creating potential which stems from voluntary synergy disclosures during M&A, and their post-merger realization in the US and EU energy markets. Initially, a practitioner's perspective is assessed, followed by the capital market's valuation. Lastly, the actual synergy realization is analyzed in an accounting context.
