Hi folks I am in the last year of my undergraduate degree in business (European system) and will be writing my thesis for a Big 4’s M&A division. Broadly, my task to is to analyze premiums in past FIG transactions and I’m given a sample of around 30 transactions. Now to my question: I am having difficulties on how to structure the whole project.
I was thinking of conducting a regression analysis that compares the premium to particular variables (e.g. Size of target, deal financing structure). Any thoughts about that or insights on how to structure it? I’m given a lot of freedom regarding the interpretation of the topic, so all kinds of input are much appreciated 
Thanks
