Two types of models (market and mean adjusted model) are used to examine the returns due to M&A event and empirically studied the trends of M&A in United Kingdom. Market model compared the returns due to M&A to market returns while Mean adjusted model compared the returns due to M&A to returns of same company at an event free period.
