In this paper, we have shown that the operations of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) are necessary for the growth of banks and for passing to increase the scale of returns. The empirical results have confirmed this affirmation. The time has had a negative effect on efficiency while the dummy M&A variable has had positive effects. The composite mergers-time variable has had positive effects, which means that in the long run the M&A achieve all their aims. Our study, therefore, is the first to analyze the dynamic effects of mergers on bank performance derived from both the acquisition of another bank and time, using panel data methodology, for the period 2005-2013, in a sample of 60 acquire banks, in 17 European countries.
the strategic goal of this paper is to study the effects of the prevention policies against money laundering on growth in the gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, UAE and Oman) from 1980 to 2014. Thus, the logistic regression (logit model) had given three fundamental results. The first had shown that the main policies in matter of fight against money laundering (anti money laundering law AMLL, suspicious transaction reporting STR, the criminalizing of terrorist financing CTF) have had positive effects on the increasing of probabilities to realize more growth. The second is that the said policies have had positive effects on the increasing of the degree of openness of the whole sample. The third is that the variable (proximity) had a positive and significant effect on anti-money laundering policies. Keywords: Money laundering, growth, efficiency, gulf countries JEL: G14, G21Résumé: L'objectif fondamental de ce papier est d'étudier les effets des politiques de prévention contre le blanchiment d'argent sur la croissance dans les pays du golfe (Arabie Saoudite, Koweït, Qatar, Bahreïn, les Emirats arabes unies et Oman) et ce durant la période allant de 1980 jusqu'à 2014. La régression logit du modèle a convergé à trois résultats fondamentaux. Le premier est que la politique actuelle de lutte contre le blanchiment a généré un effet positif sur la croissance des pays du golfe. Le deuxième est que lesdites politiques ont eu un effet positif sur l'ouverture économique de l'ensemble des pays du golfe. Le troisième est que la variable proximity avait un effet positif et significatif sur le blanchiment d'argent JEL: G14, G21
