This study intends to conclude the theoretical explanation and obtain empirical support for the relationship between M&A and corporate hedge. It applies Logit and Tobit Model to test two null hypotheses about M&A, along with six other proxies that are seen as determinants of corporate hedging activity. The result proves that corporate hedge is affected by mergers and acquisitions. First, M&A will increase the likelihood of doing hedging. Then, M&A have positive impact on hedging activity, the increase in M&A would cause firm to do more hedge.
