The study only focuses on the M&A flows from the OECD countries towards Latinamerican economies, as well as using the Kaufmann indicators for measuring, among others, the corporate governance of a country. Evidence is found that the gravity model is explicative of the M&A flows, and that the better the level of corporate governance at both origin and destination countries, the greater is the M&As activity.</p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jefas.2014.10.003" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jefas.2014.10.003</a></p>}, number={37}, journal={Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Science}, author={Vasco, Mateo and Cortés, Lina M. and Gaitán, Sandra and Durán, Iván A.}, year={2014}, month={Dec.}, pages={108–117} }
