As a forecasting method the authors have chosen a model with an additive component that considers quarterly data on the number of M&amp;A deals in the Celestial Empire for the past 15 quarters. The order of building a model with additive component is calculation of seasonal component values, deseasonalization of data, trend calculation and evaluation of forecast accuracy. Additive model allows smoothing seasonality by separating seasonal component from time series and separating it from trend and residual component. This action is performed by subtracting the seasonal component from the original time series. Thus, seasonality is removed from the time series, and only trend and residual component remain. After extraction of the seasonal component, it can be analyzed separately and used to predict future values of the time series. It is also possible to use smoothing methods, such as moving average or exponential smoothing, to smooth the seasonality and get a smoother trend. The authors also built trend models, namely linear, power, polynomial, exponential and logarithmic trend models and chose the polynomial model that provides the highest coefficient of determination. The resulting model has made it possible to forecast the number of transactions by quarter until the end of 2023, in the aftermath of which the possible reasons for the decline in the number of mergers and acquisitions in China are described.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Исследование посвящено теме моделирования и прогнозирования сезонных колебаний в сфере сделок слияний и поглощений в Китае с целью оценки краткосрочной перспективы движения этого сектора, а также для будущих исследований конъюнктуры рынка сделок M&amp;A в КНР. В качестве метода прогнозирования авторами была выбрана модель с аддитивной компонентой, учитывающая квартальные данные количества сделок M&amp;A в Поднебесной за последние 15 кварталов. Порядок построения модели с аддитивной компонентой представляет собой расчет значений сезонной компоненты, десезонализацию данных, расчет тренда и оценку точности прогноза. Аддитивная модель позволяет сгладить сезонность путем выделения сезонной компоненты из временного ряда и отделения ее от тренда и остаточной компоненты. Данное действие выполняется путем вычитания сезонной компоненты из исходного временного ряда. Таким образом, сезонность удаляется из временного ряда, и остается только тренд и остаточная компонента. После выделения сезонной компоненты ее можно проанализировать отдельно и использовать для прогнозирования будущих значений временного ряда. Также можно использовать методы сглаживания, такие как скользящее среднее или экспоненциальное сглаживание, чтобы сгладить сезонность и получить более гладкий тренд. Авторами были построены трендовые модели, а частности линейная, степенная, полиноминальная, экспоненциальная и логарифмическая трендовые модели и выбрана полиномиальная, обеспечивающая наибольший коэффициент детерминации. Полученная модель позволила спрогнозировать количество сделок по кварталам до конца 2023 г. и описать возможные причины снижения количества сделок слияний и поглощений в Китае.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>mergers and acquisitions</kwd><kwd>M&amp;A</kwd><kwd>modeling</kwd><kwd>forecasting</kwd><kwd>additive component</kwd><kwd>trend</kwd><kwd>China</kwd><kwd>M&amp;A</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>слияния и поглощения</kwd><kwd>моделирование</kwd><kwd>прогнозирование</kwd><kwd>аддитивная компонента</kwd><kwd>тренд</kwd><kwd>Китай</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Borthwick, J., Ali S., &amp; Pan, X.
