Abnormal trading volume,news and market efficiency: Evidence from the Jamaica Stock Exchange

This paper investigates market efficiency of the Jamaica Stock Exchange (JSE). Together, weak and semi-strong form efficiency claim that historical and newly released public information do not predict future stock price movement. We test both forms of market efficiency by analyzing stock price behavior during times of abnormal trading volume and around the release dates of earnings information. Abnormal trading volume may be driven by liquidity demand or reflect new or private information flow to the market. Using JSE data over the period 2000 to 2021, we find price dynamics consistent with price pressure as firms experience negative abnormal returns on the day of abnormal trading activity but offsetting positive abnormal stock returns on the following day. Further findings show post earnings announcement drift on the JSE. Taken as a whole, the evidence suggests violations of market efficiency and has implications for capital allocation in this emerging market.

The relationship between major-league sports’ official sponsorship announcements and the stock prices of sponsoring firms

This study presents analysis of the impact of “official product” sports sponsorships with the National Football League (NFL), Major League Baseball (MLB), the National Hockey League (NHL), the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) on the stock prices of sponsoring firms. The primary finding of the study is that, in the main, announcements were accompanied by increases in shareholder wealth. The 53 sponsors analyzed experienced mean increases in stock valuations of about $257 million. A multiple regression analysis of firm-specific stock price changes and selected corporate and sponsorship attributes indicates that official product sponsorships with the NBA, NHL, and PGA and those with smaller market shares were associated with the largest gains in share prices. Although corporate cashflow (a proxy for agency conflicts) is statistically unrelated to shareholder approval, sponsorships by high-technology companies were associated with stronger stock price reactions than otherwise. Finally, product congruence with the sponsored sport was positively related to changes in stock prices. T.

关于提高印花税税率的冷思考

印花税税率调高会带来交易费用的上升,可以抑制短期投机,从而在一定程度上稳定市场。但在我国证券税制不完善的情况下,股票交易的印花税存在缺乏法律依据、税种错位、职能错位、征收范围错位等问题,其身兼数职,扮演了多税种合一的角色,仅靠调整印花税难以真正达到压缩股市泡沫、促进资本市场健康发展的效果,还会带来印花税其他职能的丧失。因此,开征差异性证券交易税,对印花税进一步改革已迫在眉睫。

论LLSV法律来源论的缺陷性

拉普特等人用数据来表明,法律来源于普通法系国家比法律来源于大陆法系国家特别是法国大陆法系国家能更好地保护投资者,而德国大陆法系国家和斯堪的纳维亚国家则介于这二者之间。公司所有权的集中程度在他们的研究中被认为是对投资者保护差的一种适应性反映。在本文,我们用中国和其他国家的证据来说明政治经济因素比法律来源论能更好地解释在中国的转型经济中对小股东保护差的原因。我们认为中国上市公司所有权非常集中的原因是政府决策的直接结果,也认为政府控制绝大部分上市公司在某种程度上减弱了对小股东的保护。     

有限责任公司转让股权若干问题的法律思考

有限责任公司在诸种公司类型中是最晚出现的一种公司类型,并以其规模小、人数少、股东承担有限责任等特点成为目前世界上数量最多的公司类型。它充分体现了资合性与人舍性的统一。在其股权的转让过程中,如何判定股权转让协议的生效与股权的转让、股权变更后“一人公司”的取舍以及在股权转让过程中如何体现有限责任公司资合性的本质和人合性的色彩是本讨论的重点。     

美国对员工股票期权的会计处理及其启示

美国推行采用公允价值计价对员工股票期权进行会计处理，引起了广泛争议。我国目前采用公允价值计价的条件尚不成熟，可用内在价值法计价，并加强披露，对员工股票期权进行会计处理。     

股权结构治理结构与审计师选聘--2002年深圳股市的实证检验

笔者等以2002年深圳股市的484家上市公司为样本，考察了大股东控制的公司审计师的选择行为，以及公司治理结构是否能够遏制大股东的偏好。结果发现，第一大股东持股比例越大，越不会聘请国际“四大”会计师事务所的境内合作所；但是，如果第一大股东是外资股，他们更可能聘请国际“四大”会计师事务所的境内合作所。     

股票回购中内幕交易与股价操纵行为规制——由新《公司法》第一百四十三条引发的思考

新<公司法>增加了股票回购事由的条款,放宽了对股票回购的限制.但在股票回购的立法方面,总体上仍较为简单、粗略,缺乏具体的操作规则,没有形成完整、严密的规制体系.由于立法模式的差异,各国对股票回购过程中内幕交易及股价操纵行为的管制形式也有所不同.对欧美等国对股票回购过程中的内幕交易和股价操纵行为的监管进行比较分析,可以为我国股票回购实施过程中如何抑制股价操纵行为提供启示.
