Résumé
Do European investments in China create shareholders’ value? The question is posed, but does not ask for a definite answer. Many factors have to be considered when analyzing the valuation effect of European direct investment in China and its determinants. The aim of this article is to better understand the real impact of the Sino-European joint venture announcements on the stock market value of the European partners. First of all, on the basis of an event study methodology, this article presents empirical observations of the share price reactions in different European stock markets to 68 Sino-European joint venture announcements.
