We examine the motives for takeovers in New Zealand surrounding the 1987 stock market crash and compare with the US findings
of Gondhalekar and Bhagwat (2003). There are a number of structural differences between the New Zealand and US markets that could impact on merger motives.
Compared with the US, New Zealand is a small capital market; with weak takeover regulation and a prolonged aftermath of the
1987 stock market crash. Consistent with US research, we find evidence of synergy and hubris motivations in New Zealand takeovers
although we find the synergy motivation is stronger. Contrary to expectations we find no evidence of agency motivated takeovers.

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.

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.

Previous research (Rutherford et al. 2005; Levitt and Syverson 2005) identify and quantify agency problems in the brokerage of single-family houses. Real estate agents are found to receive
a premium when selling their own houses in comparison to similar client-owned houses. Given the homogeneity of the condominium
market in comparison to the single-family house market, we use a large sample of condominium transactions to examine if agency
problems exist in the condominium market. Controlling for sample selection and endogeneity bias of the data, we find evidence
for a similar price premium for agent-owned condominiums. In contrast to the results for single-family houses in the same
geographic market, we find that agent-owned condominiums must stay on the market longer to receive a higher price.

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.

This paper examines the transitory price effects of index futures trading extension on the underlying stock market. Based
on the model formulation of George and Hwang (1995) and Amihud and Mendelson (1987) and using the Hong Kong data, we find that the extension of futures trading hour helps to reduce the opening pricing errors
and change the correlations between daytime and overnight stock returns. Our finding adds to the literature that the trading
behavior of derivatives has a significant influence on the transitory price changes of the underlying cash products.

Domino Effects Within a Housing Market: The Transmission of House Price Changes Across Quality Tiers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Lok Sang Ho Yue Ma Donald R. Haurin 《The Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics》2008,37(4):299-316
We argue that shocks to a housing market are transmitted through the hierarchy of quality tiers within a housing market. The
result is the prediction of waves of house price changes accompanied by changes in transaction volume. Our study is related
to existing models of spatial ripple effects across housing markets. The data are from the Hong Kong housing market. The findings
from Granger causality tests strongly support the argument that domino effects within a single housing market occur in response
to external shocks.

The Dynamic Impact of Macro Shocks on Insurance Premiums 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We develop a model that investigates the relation between insurance premiums and macroeconomic variables, including oil price,
interest rate, aggregate supply, and aggregate demand. We then use a multivariate structural vector error correction model
to distinguish the effects arising from permanent and transitory components of insurance premiums. Changes in the transitory
component indicate that our model captures key historical events. Although real shocks originating from oil price and aggregate
supply explain the behavior of insurance premiums well, we show that financial market shocks are the main driving force behind
the recent increasing volatility in insurance premiums in the U.S. market.

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.

This paper examines the use of futures contracts to hedge residential real estate price risk. We examine whether existing
futures contacts can effectively be used to offset volatility in national house prices. Little evidence of any simple systematic
relation between national prices and futures prices is found. Since house prices are not easily replicated with a portfolio
of existing futures contracts, a further implication is that the Chicago Mercantile’s introduction of a financial asset whose
value reflects house prices will help complete the market. Nevertheless, the success of the CME’s new derivative contracts
may be limited in light of state and regional house price correlations.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between investor protection, adverse selection, and the probability
of informed trading. Previous research has established a direct relation between investor protection and firm liquidity, measured
by bid-ask spreads and depths. In this study, we test the hypothesis that adverse selection is the mechanism through which
poor investor protection leads to higher costs of liquidity. The Hong Kong equity market provides a unique opportunity to
compare adverse selection differences across distinct investor protection environments, holding constant the trading platform
and currency. Using various bid-ask spread decomposition models and probability of informed trading estimates, we confirm
the hypothesized relation between investor protection quality and adverse selection costs. These findings contribute to the
literature by establishing one of the links in the chain connecting investor protection to firm valuation.

How shocks in one market influence the returns and volatility of other markets has been an important question for portfolio
managers. In the finance literature, many studies found evidence of volatility spillovers across international markets, as
well as between spot and futures markets. Although real estate is often regarded as a good vehicle for diversification, the
dynamics of its volatility transmission have been largely ignored. This paper provides the first study to examine volatility
spillovers between the spot and forward (pre-sale) index returns of the Hong Kong real estate market through a bivariate GARCH
model. Transaction-based indices were used so that our volatility modelling was free from any smoothing problem. Our results
showed that real estate returns exhibited volatility clustering, and the volatility of the forward market was more sensitive
to shocks than the spot market. Moreover, volatility was mainly transmitted from the forward market to the spot market, but
not vice versa.

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.

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.

This study examines empirically the extent to which the frequency of interim financial reporting affects stock price volatility
over the course of the fiscal year in four countries with different interim reporting regimes: the United States and Canada
with quarterly reporting, and Great Britain and Australia with semi-annual interim reporting. It is hypothesized that, in
the tradeoff between timeliness and predictive value of the interim reports, semi-annual interim reporting will lead to lesser
price volatility after accounting for other potential influences. These expectations are supported in the results found. Moreover,
additional tests conducted on American ADRs of British and Australian companies show that those firms have higher volatility
than comparable purely domestic firms on their home stock exchanges.

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.

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.

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.

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).

Evidence of feedback trading with Markov switching regimes 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Previous research has concluded that the degree of return autocorrelation observed in index returns varies linearly with the
volatility of the series, and that feedback traders are at least partly responsible for this phenomenon. Using daily Australian
bond and equity market returns, we test this conclusion directly by using a Markov switching model for changing variance that
explicitly allows the autocorrelation of returns to vary with the volatility regime. We find evidence that a significant proportion
of investors in both the Australian equity and bond markets are positive feedback traders and are responsible for the observed
increase in negative autocorrelation in index returns during periods of high and increasing volatility.
