Abstract
This study compares domestic and foreign special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) listed in the US market. Compared with domestic SPACs, we find that foreign SPACs raise lower proceeds from initial public offerings and private investments in public equity funding. Additionally, redemption rates of foreign SPACs are higher than those of domestic SPACs. Our findings suggest that foreign SPACs face a competitive disadvantage due to their limited networks in the US market.
