Macrocosmic Theory and China’s Economy

China’s Cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions

课程介绍Macrocosmic Theory and China’s Economy

    This course examines theories of the aggregate economic activities, and as such it covers topics such as national income accounting, equilibrium conditions in product, labor, and money markets of open economies, macroeconomic stabilization policies, and economics of growth, exchange rate economics, and international adjustment and interdependence of the economies. The course will examine post-reform era’s economic development in China in the framework of the modern macroeconomic theory.

课程介绍：China’s Cross-border Mergers and Acquisitions

China was the sixth-largest international investor in the world in 2011, and the leading, by a wide margin, emerging market foreign investor in the same year also. The most recent publically available data indicate that Chinese businesses complete about 200 international mergers and acquisitions (M&A) with a total value of $40 billion a year. During 2011, total domestic M&A in the United States was $1000 billion dollar.  These figures imply that the U.S. market provides great M&A opportunities for China. Nonetheless, China’s foreign business ventures, in spite of robust growth in China’s international mergers and acquisitions of recent years, show some lingering issues Chinese businesses face in completing and implementing the international M&As. This course is designed to address some of these outstanding issues by introducing Chinese business executives to practical aspects of mergers, tender offers, and business consolidation as well as integration processes in the international market arenas.
