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.

This paper identifies and corrects a typographical error in Black and Cox (J Finance 31:351–367, 1976). While the typographical error is seemingly trivial, the magnitude of the pricing error that it generates can be substantial.

Inspired by Vassalou (J Financ Econ 68:47–73, 2003), we investigate the contention that the Fama and French (J Financ Econ 33:3–56, 1993) model’s ability to explain the cross sectional variation in equity returns is because the Fama–French factors are proxying
for risk associated with future GDP growth in the Australian equities market. To assess the validity of Vassalou’s findings,
we augment the CAPM and the Fama–French model with a GDP growth factor and run system regressions of the GDP-enhanced models
using the GMM approach. Our results suggest that news about future GDP growth is not priced in equity returns and that any
ability that SMB and HML exhibit in explaining equity returns is not because they contain information about future GDP growth.

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 paper investigates whether an acquirer’s pre-announcement cash level can predict post-acquisition returns. Harford (1999, Journal of Finance, 54, 1969–1997) shows that some cash-rich acquirers have lower announcement period returns than other acquirers, suggesting the
market partially anticipates poor future performance. This paper shows that the acquirer’s cash level is also strongly and
negatively predictive of post-acquisition returns, indicating that the announcement response is incomplete. Post-acquisition
return on net operating assets (RNOA) is significantly decreasing in acquirer cash, suggesting that the market responds to
subsequent poor operating performance as it is reported. Overall, these results are consistent with the market’s inattention
to a less prominent accounting signal (acquirer cash) but attentiveness to a more prominent accounting signal (RNOA), as proposed
by Hirshleifer and Teoh (2003, Journal of Accounting Economics, 36, 337–386).

In a framework where no uncertainty arises, Arnott (J Publ Econ Theor 7:27–50, 2005) investigates a neutral property taxation policy that will not affect a landowner’s choices of capital intensity and timing
of development. We investigate the same issue, but allow rents on structures to be stochastic over time. We assume that a
regulator implements taxation on capital, vacant land, and post-development property so as to expropriate a certain ratio
of pre-tax site value as well as to achieve neutrality. We find that the optimal taxation policy is to tax capital and subsidize
properties before and after development. We also investigate how this optimal policy changes in response to changes in several
exogenous forces related to demand and supply conditions of the real estate market.

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.

Herding,momentum and investor over-reaction 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
In this paper we study the impact of noise or quality of prices on returns. The noise arises from herding by market participants
beyond what is justified by information. We construct a firm-quarter-specific measure of speculative intensity (SPEC) based
on autocorrelation in daily trading volume adjusted for the amount of information available, and find that speculative intensity
has a significant positive impact on returns. Both cross-sectional and time series variation in SPEC are consistent with conventional
wisdom, and with implications of theories of herding as in DeLong et al. (1990, J Political Econ 98(4):703–738). We find that high-SPEC firms drive the returns to momentum trading strategies and that
investor over-reaction is significant only in the case of high-SPEC firms.

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.

Firm diversification and earnings management: evidence from seasoned equity offerings 总被引:4,自引:3,他引:1
Chee Yeow Lim Tiong Yang Thong David K. Ding 《Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting》2008,30(1):69-92
Popular press suggests that diversified firms are more aggressive in managing earnings than non-diversified firms. We examine
this claim in the seasoned equity offering (SEO) setting, where firms have been shown to have the incentive to manage earnings
upwards. Using the cross-sectional modified Jones [(1991) J Accounting Res 29:193–228] model to measure discretionary current accruals, we find that discretionary current accruals
are higher among diversified firms than in non-diversified ones. Our evidence is consistent with the view that the extent
of firm diversification is directly related to the degree of earnings management. We further show that diversified issuers
with high discretionary accruals underperformed other SEO firms.

The contextual nature of the predictive power of statistically-based quarterly earnings models 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
We present new empirical evidence on the contextual nature of the predictive power of five statistically-based quarterly earnings
expectation models evaluated on a holdout period spanning the twelve quarters from 2000–2002. In marked contrast to extant
time-series work, the random walk with drift (RWD) model provides significantly more accurate pooled, one-step-ahead quarterly
earnings predictions for a sample of high-technology firms (n = 202). In similar predictive comparisons, the Griffin-Watts (GW) ARIMA model provides significantly more accurate quarterly
earnings predictions for a sample of regulated firms (n = 218). Finally, the RWD and GW ARIMA models jointly dominate the other expectation models (i.e., seasonal random walk with
drift, the Brown-Rozeff (BR) and Foster (F) ARIMA models) for a default sample of firms (n = 796). We provide supplementary analyses that document the: (1) increased frequency of the number of loss quarters experienced
by our sample firms in the holdout period (2000–2002) vis-à-vis the identification period (1990–1999); (2) reduced levels
of earnings persistence for our sample firms relative to earnings persistence factors computed by Baginski et al. (2003) during earlier time periods (1970s–1980s); (3) relative impact on the predictive ability of the five expectation models
conditioned upon the extent of analyst coverage of sample firms (i.e., no coverage, moderate coverage, and extensive coverage);
and (4) sensitivity of predictive performance across subsets of regulated firms with the BR ARIMA model providing the most
accurate predictions for utilities (n = 87) while the RWD model is superior for financial institutions (n = 131).

The relationship between (a) private and public equity market valuations and (b) financial statement information is examined
for a sample of 502 venture capital backed companies from six different industries over the 1993–2003 period. Financial statement
information explains a sizable component of the levels of and changes in valuation in both the Pre-IPO and Post-IPO periods.
The findings support prior research for Post-IPO companies that revenues are value enhancing and costs are value diminishing.
For the Pre-IPO period, we find that cost of sales; sales, marketing, general and administrative; and research and development
are value enhancing—even when revenues are included in the analysis. This is consistent with costs incurred by early-stage,
venture-backed companies having a strong “investment aspect” as the companies build a platform/infrastructure to grow revenue
and validate their business model(s). We document the growth of early stage companies for revenues and costs in both calendar
time (by round of private equity financing) and event time (relative to their eventual IPO).

This study examines the effect of transaction costs on the time series behavior of stock returns over a period surrounding
the April 1989 changes in tax rates on securities transactions and capital gains in Japan. We find significant decreases in
estimates of the first-order autocorrelation in returns for Japanese stocks listed in Japan, but no changes for Japanese stocks
dually listed in the United States as American Depository Receipts (ADRs), which were not subject to the tax law change. We
also find lower price basis between the ADRs and their underlying Japanese stocks. These results are consistent with the hypothesis
that a reduction in transaction costs improves the efficiency of the price discovery process.

I analyze implicit transaction costs of trading government debt securities on the Spanish stock exchanges (SE) electronic
trading system. The SE’s multilateral system is used mainly as an outlet for retail investors to liquidate Treasury accounts
positions before maturity. I compare identical Treasury security trades on the same day in two different markets: the SE and
the interdealer market. By analyzing these yield spreads I learn more about the behavior of the markdowns included in the
retail prices from the institutional prices. I find evidence that these yield premia depend on traditional features to explain
wholesale market liquidity premia.

The current vast account surpluses of commodity-rich nations, combined with record account deficits in developed markets (the
United States, Britain) have created a new type of investor. Sovereign wealth funds (SWF) are instrumental in deciding how
these surpluses will be invested. We need to better understand the investment problem for an SWF in order to project future
investment flows. Extending Gintschel and Scherer (J. Asset Manag. 9(3):215–238, 2008), we apply the portfolio choice problem for a sovereign wealth fund in a Campbell and Viceira (Strategic Asset Allocation,
2002) strategic asset allocation framework. Changing the analysis from a one to a multi-period framework allows us to establish
a three-fund separation. We split the optimal portfolio for an SWF into speculative demand as well as hedge demand against
oil price shocks and shocks to the short-term risk-free rate. In addition, all terms now depend on the investor’s time horizon.
We show that oil-rich countries should hold bonds and that the optimal investment policy for an SWF as a long-term investor
is determined by long-run covariance matrices that differ from the correlation inputs that one-period (myopic) investors use.

Regression analysis is often used to estimate a linear relationship between security abnormal returns and firm-specific variables.
If the abnormal returns are caused by a common event (i.e., there is “event clustering”) the error term of the cross-sectional
regression will be heteroskedastic and correlated across observations. The size and power of alternative test statistics for
the event clustering case has been evaluated under ideal conditions (Monte Carlo experiments using normally distributed synthetic
security returns) by Chandra and Balachandran (J Finance 47:2055–2070, 1992) and Karafiath (J Financ Quant Anal 29(2):279–300, 1994). Harrington and Shrider (J Financ Quant Anal 42(1):229–256, 2007) evaluate cross-sectional regressions using actual (not simulated) stock returns only for the case of cross-sectional independence,
i.e., in the absence of clustering. In order to evaluate the event clustering case, random samples of security returns are
drawn from the data set provided by the Center for Research in Security Prices (CRSP) and the empirical distributions of alternative
test statistics compared.
These simulations include a comparison of OLS, WLS, GLS, two heteroskedastic-consistent estimators, and a bootstrap test for
GLS. In addition, the Sefcik and Thompson (J Accounting Res 24(2):316–334, 1986) portfolio counterparts to OLS, WLS, and GLS, are evaluated. The main result from these simulations is none of the other
estimator shows clear advantages over OLS or WLS. Researchers should be aware, however, that in these simulations the variance
of the error term in the cross-sectional regression is unrelated to the explanatory variable.

This article revisits the debate on the nature of private placements by specifying that informed insiders make trading decisions
in the secondary market and equity issuance decision in the primary equity market (Lee and Wu (2008)). This article uses conditional residuals from the insider trading regression (abnormal insider trades) and conditional
residuals from equity financing choice regression (unexpected equity financing choice) to measure private information. An
important advantage of conditional correlation coefficient approach over the two-stage approach (Lee and Wu 2008) in testing the presence of asymmetric information is that the former is bounded by −1 and 1 and thus permits cross-sectional
comparisons the relatedness between abnormal insider trades and unexpected equity financing choice.

We employ an innovative methodology suggested by Bernhardt et al. (J. Financ. Econ. 80:657–675, 2006) to examine the herding (or anti-herding) behavior of German analysts regarding earnings forecasts. This methodology avoids
well-known shortcomings often encountered in related studies, such as correlated information signals, unexpected common shocks
to earnings, systematic optimism or pessimism, or forecast target mismeasurement. Our findings suggest that German analysts
anti-herd, that is, they systematically issue earnings forecasts that are further away from the consensus forecast than their
private information indicates. Furthermore, we analyze the association between herding behavior and different characteristics,
including the size of the brokerage, general or firm-specific experience, and the coverage of firms on the Neuer Markt. We mainly confirm findings for the United States, for example, that anti-herding is more severe in cases of higher competition
among analysts. Contrary to anecdotal evidence, we also find anti-herding behavior in earnings forecasts for Neuer Markt firms during the “new economy” bubble.

This paper studies the determinants of corporate hedging practices in the REIT industry between 1999 and 2001. We find a positive
significant relation between hedging and financial leverage, indicating the financial distress costs motive for using derivatives
in the REIT industry. Using estimates of the Black–Scholes sensitivity of CEO’s stock option portfolios to stock return volatility
and the sensitivity of CEO’s stock and stock option portfolios to stock price, we find evidence to support managerial risk
aversion motive for corporate hedging in the REIT industry. Our results indicate that CEO’s cash compensation and the CEO’s
wealth sensitivity to stock return volatility are significant determinants of derivative use in REITs. We also document a
significant positive relation between institutional ownership and hedging activity. Further, we find that probability of hedging
is related to economies of scale in hedging costs.

We evaluate the conditional performance of U.K. equity unit trusts using the approach of Lynch and Wachter (2007, 2008) relative to three conditional linear factor models. We find significant time variation in the conditional performance of
some trust portfolios and individual trusts using the lag term spread as the information variable. The conditional performance
of the trusts is countercyclical and larger trusts have more countercyclical performance than smaller trusts within certain
investment sectors. These patterns in conditional trust performance cannot be fully explained by the underlying securities
that the trusts hold.
