• It is well known that an individual firm's financial condition impacts its ability to undertake mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This study provides evidence that macroeconomic funding availability can also change the nature of the M&A environment in the U.S., as both the type of bidder (small vs. large) and the investor reaction to an M&A deal depend on the overall availability of capital in the economy.
