We investigate the volatility impacts of the full commission deregulation in Japan in October 1999, and find that the deregulation
overall tends to significantly increase price volatility in the Japanese equity market, using alternative model specifications
and control variables. This finding contrasts with previous evidence that implies a positive relation between transaction
costs and price volatility, while consistent from the converse with the hypothesis proposed by Stiglitz (1989) and Summers and Summers (1989). Our results suggest that imposing higher transaction costs might still be a feasible policy tool for stabilizing the market
by curbing short-term noise trading.

While there is little controversy on the profitability of momentum strategies, their implementation is afflicted with many
difficulties. Most important, chasing momentum can generate high turnover. Though there are already several attempts to make
momentum strategies less expensive with respect to transaction costs, we go a step further in the simplification of momentum
strategies. By restricting our sample to Switzerland’s largest blue-chip stocks and choosing only one winner and one loser
stock, we find average returns to our momentum arbitrage portfolios of up to 44% p.a. depending on the formation and holding
periods. While unconditional risk models are at odds with momentum profits, stock market predictability and time-varying expected
returns explain a large part of the momentum payoffs, including the post-holding period behavior of the winner and loser stocks
(overreaction and subsequent price correction).

Theories predict that launching index futures could affect the price informativeness for the underlying stocks. We test this
hypothesis by taking advantage of the introduction of the Nikkei 225 futures contracts in Singapore on September 3, 1986.
Employing two alternative statistical methods applied to both daily and weekly data, we find that, following the listing of
the index futures, returns become significantly more random and less predictable for the underlying stocks, even after controlling
for concurrent marketwide shifts. These findings suggest improved price informativeness for the underlying stocks, which is
further corroborated by their higher trading volume following the event.

Pricing Structure in Tokyo Metropolitan Land Markets and its Structural Changes: Pre-bubble,Bubble, and Post-bubble Periods 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In this paper, we estimate hedonic price equations of Japanese commercial and residential land prices for a 25-year period
and to investigate possible structural changes in these price equations. Our price equations are based on transaction prices,
not appraised land values, of commercial land in Central Business Districts of Tokyo (Chiyoda Ward, Chuo Ward, and Minato
Ward), and residential land of its suburb (Setagaya Ward). We find that price structure differs substantially among locations,
reflecting differences in supplier pricing and end-user preferences. We also find significant structural changes in price
structure, identifying pre-bubble, bubble and post-bubble periods.

Discretely rebalanced options arbitrage strategies in the presence of transaction costs have path dependent returns that are
difficult to model analytically. I instead use a quasi-analytic procedure that combines the computational efficiency of analytical
solutions with the flexibility of simulations. The central feature is the estimation of the distribution of returns of the
arbitrage strategy by mapping simulated returns percentiles and the input parameter set. Using the estimated density, I evaluate
the tradeoff between transaction costs and risk exposure under generalized transaction costs structures that includes bid-ask
spread and brokerage commission. I show that the optimal strategy depends on transaction costs, volatility, and option moneyness.
Strategies such as rebalancing when the hedge ratio changes by 0.25, balances transaction costs and risk exposure, and can
be optimal.

In this paper, we examine the time variation in transaction costs relative to excess returns, in a panel consisting of 10
international equity indices over the time period 1984–2005. This is undertaken by extending the consumption CAPM (CCAPM)
model proposed by Campbell and Shiller (Rev. Financ. Stud. 1:195–228, 1988) to incorporate time varying proportional transaction costs. We rigorously address both the cross-country heterogeneity in
the estimated model and endogeneity. We find strong evidence that suggests transaction costs should be included as an additional
explanatory variable in the CCAPM. This leads to the conclusion that transaction costs should be included in asset pricing
models as their stochastic process impacts directly on private consumption expenditure.

Liquidity commonality and spillover in the US and Japanese markets: an intraday analysis using exchange-traded funds 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Vinay Datar Raymond W. So Yiuman Tse 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2008,31(4):379-393
This article examines the intraday returns and liquidity patterns of the Standard & Poor’s Depositary Receipts (SPY) and the iShares
Morgan Stanley Capital International Inc. (MSCI) Japan Index Fund (EWJ). These exchange-traded funds seemingly have very different holdings, namely, US stocks and Japanese stocks. Our findings
suggest that some commonality exists in the returns and liquidity of these apparently different assets. First, there are intraday,
daily and monthly patterns in the measures of liquidity for both funds. Second, the measures of liquidity are correlated across
these two assets. Third, there is evidence of intraday spillover in the mean, volatility and depth from the SPY to the EWJ,
but daily spillover is not observed. Our study extends two evolving strands of the literature: the integration of world markets
in terms of returns behavior, and the other strand suggests that liquidity may have a systematic, or market-wide, component.
This paper provides direct evidence of the integration between the US and Japanese markets because contemporaneous trading
prices for the US (SPY) and Japanese (EWJ) indices are employed.

In this paper we analyze the price dynamics of international property shares for the ten most prominent markets from around
the world plus South-Africa. We focus on the presence of calendar effects in daily and monthly price returns and examine these
effects both over time and across countries. For the daily returns we find price anomalies for Fridays and Mondays in all
markets. Friday returns tend to be the highest of the week, while Mondays are weakest. We find that these patterns were most
prominent during the 1980s and early 1990s and in the smaller markets in our sample. For the monthly returns we found little
evidence for price irregularities. In most cases January was superior to most other months, but these differences lacked statistical
significance. More interesting was the sell in May effect that seemed to be present in ten out of 11 markets. Price returns
during the winter season outperformed the summer months and in five countries these difference were both economically and
statistically significant. Finally, we looked at firm level returns to isolate the drivers of these infamous calendar effects.
The day-of-the-week effect appears to be most pronounced among small and young firms that have little or no institutional
investors. Large and long-established listed real estate firms with a large portion of loyal block-holders experience no significant
price patterns during the trading week.

This paper examines the ex-dividend stock price and trading volume behavior in the Greek stock market for the period 2000–2004.
We use both standard event-study methodology and cross-sectional regression analysis in assessing the ex-dividend stock price
anomaly. We find that stock prices drop less than the dividend amount. By examining abnormal returns as well as abnormal trading
volume around the ex-dividend day, we find strong evidence of short-term trading, which is consistent with the presence of
dividend-capturing activities around the ex-dividend day. The results from the cross-sectional regression analysis confirm
that the short-term trading hypothesis explains the ex-dividend day stock price anomaly in Greece.

We propose two alternative models to estimate fundamental prices on real estate markets. The first model is based on a no-arbitrage
condition between renting and buying. The second model interprets the period costs as the result of market equilibrium between
housing demand and supply. We estimate both models for the USA, the UK, Japan, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. We find that
observed prices deviate substantially and for long periods from their estimated fundamental values. However, we find some
evidence that, in the long-run, actual prices tend to return to their fundamental values progressively. This result is due
to both impulse–response functions and forecast analyses. In particular, we find that using the fundamental price significantly
increases the accuracy of out-of-sample long-term forecasts of the price.

This paper examines the out-of-sample performance of asset allocation strategies that use conditional multi-factor models
to forecast expected returns and estimate the future variance and covariance. We find that strategies based on conditional
multi-factor models outperform strategies based on unconditional multi-factor models, and do better than a passive buy-and-hold
strategy. However, a strategy that uses the sample mean as a return forecast is superior. We also find that the estimation
of the covariance matrices based on the conditional and unconditional multi-factor models does not improve the performance
of the active asset allocation strategy relative to the incorporation of the historical covariance matrices. These results
are fairly robust to different estimation approaches, as well as to the impact of transaction costs and the consideration
of upper and lower bounds for the portfolio weights.

This paper employs the Campbell-Shiller (Rev Financ Stud 1:195–228, 1988) VAR model to derive a model-based mispricing measure that captures investor overreaction to growth. Using this mispricing
measure, we find that stocks with low levels of mispricing outperform otherwise similar stocks. The long–short mispricing
strategy generates statistically and economically significant returns over the sample period of July 1981 to June 2006. Moreover,
this mispricing strategy outperforms the contrarian strategy using various accounting-fundamental-to-price ratios. Our results
cast doubt on the risk story in explaining the abnormal returns of the mispricing strategy. Rather, our evidence suggests
that asset prices reflect both covariance risk and mispricing.

This study investigates Real Estate Investment Trusts’ momentum returns in different market states, and explains the momentum
phenomenon with a risk-based dividend growth theory of Johnson (Journal of Finance 57:585–608, 2002). Our results show that
momentum returns of REITs are higher during up markets. This study finds that winners’ dividend/price ratios are higher than
those of losers, and momentum returns are positively correlated with the difference between winners’ and losers’ dividend/price
ratios. We also find that momentum returns are higher after the legislation change of REITs in 1992, and that dividend/price
ratios of REITs are also higher after 1992, suggesting that a persistent shock to REIT’s dividend/price ratios in 1992 partly
explains REITs’ higher momentum returns after 1992. In sum, results of this study suggest that momentum returns of REITs can
be jointly explained by a time-varying factor (market state) and a cross-sectional variance in dividend yields.

Historic analysis of the inflation hedging properties of stocks has produced anomalous results, with stocks often appearing
to offer a perverse hedge. This has been attributed to the impact of real and monetary shocks to the economy, which influence
both inflation and asset returns. It has been argued that real estate should provide a better hedge: however, empirical results
have been mixed. This paper explores the relationship between commercial real estate returns and economic, fiscal and monetary
factors and inflation for US and UK markets. Comparative analysis of general equity and small capitalization stock returns
is carried out with inflation divided into expected and unexpected components. The analyses are undertaken using an error
correction approach. In the long run, once real and monetary variables are included, asset returns are positively linked to
anticipated inflation but not to inflation shocks. Adjustment processes are, however, gradual and not within period. Real
estate returns, particularly private market returns, exhibit characteristics that differ from those of stocks.

Why do firms repurchase stock to acquire another firm? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Robin S. Wilber 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2007,29(2):155-172
This study investigates firms that repurchase their stock to finance an acquisition. Since research shows that cash-financed
acquisitions perform better than stock-financed acquisitions, why do firms that have available cash initiate the extra transactional
step. I find these firms are well compensated for their efforts, especially in the long run. On average, these firms have
negative abnormal returns prior to their repurchase announcements and thus may choose repurchasing to signal undervaluation.
Furthermore, the stock acquisition step allows these firms to share risk, counteract the negative effects of dilution, and
enjoy a tax advantage for their efforts.

We show that candlestick charting, the oldest known form of technical analysis, is not profitable in the Japanese equity market
over the 1975–2004 period. Candlestick technical analysis, which was developed in Japan in the 1600s, is deeply intertwined
with Japanese culture and is very popular in Japan. However, there is no evidence candlestick technical trading strategies
add value in either the entire 30 year period, in three 10 year sub-periods or in bull or bear markets.

This paper looks at the reaction by industry insiders, industry analysts and competing firms, to the announcement of M&As
that took place in the European Union financial industry in the period 1998–2006. Analysts covering firms involved in an M&A
transaction do not significantly alter their recommendation. This is consistent with the hypothesis that the transaction on
average is “fairly priced” and that stock market prices reflect all relevant information on the assets. We also find that
the correlation between excess returns for merging and competing firms is positive and, in some cases, significantly higher
for domestic mergers than for international deals. This is consistent with the idea that domestic deals are more likely to
have a negative impact on industry competition.

I assess the impact of bancassurance on the price of retail financial services. I find that service fees in a product bundle
increase less than proportionally to the number of services; that an increase in the number of clients in each product bundle
market reduces fees by 1.5%; that the degree of competition in the markets of each bundle also reduces fees; that premium
products have higher average costs; and finally, that cross-holdings reduce prices by about 5% and bancassurance reduces prices
by just over 6%. The price reduction declines if both strategies are combined.

The volatility of a stock returns can be decomposed into market and firm-specific volatility, with the former commonly known
as systematic risk and the later as idiosyncratic risk. This study examines the relevance of idiosyncratic risk in explaining
the monthly cross-sectional returns of REIT stocks. Contrary to the CAPM theory, a significant positive relationship is found
between idiosyncratic volatility and the cross-sectional returns. This suggests that firm-specific risk matters in REIT pricing.
The regression results further show that once idiosyncratic risk is controlled for in the asset-pricing model, the size and
book-to-market equity ratio factors ceased to be significant. The explanatory power of the momentum effect remains robust
in the presence of idiosyncratic risk.

On 25 March 2002, the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd (HKEx) introduced an opening call auction. This trading mechanism
is designed to facilitate price discovery in the presence of asymmetric information at the market open, increasing opening
price efficiency. The design of the HKEx differs significantly from opening auctions in other markets. Contrary to previous
research, the results indicate a decrease in market quality following the introduction of the opening call auction. This decline
is largest in the less actively traded stocks.
