SPAC deals and determinants of their failures (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9786208454913)

This book examines the factors behind the liquidation of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) during the 2020-2021 boom. While SPACs briefly dominated U.S. IPO markets, many failed to complete mergers and were liquidated. Using logistic regression on a dataset of SPACs from this period, the study identifies key drivers of liquidation, including oversupply, poor target quality, and sponsor-investor misalignment. The findings provide insights into the structural weaknesses of the SPAC model and inform investors, sponsors, and regulators about associated risks.
