School of Accounting Faculty Publishes New Research
Atif Ellahie, Associate Professor in the School of Accounting, recently had a paper accepted for publication in Management Science, a leading academic journal. The paper titled “Measuring the Quality of Mergers and Acquisitions” is co-authored with Shenje Hshieh at City University of Hong Kong and Feng Zhang at Southern Methodist University and develops a novel accounting-based measure of merger and acquisition (M&A) quality that predicts acquirer financial performance. The measure is useful for both academics and practitioners examining the value of M&As. Professor Ellahie has also incorporated his research on M&As into an elective course he developed for masters-level students who are interested in learning how to analyze M&As.
