Ownership of Cross–Listed Equities: An Investigation of Turnover, Diversification, and Risk

Using data for a sample of Malaysian stocks that are traded in both Malaysia and Singapore, we show that the turnover rate (trading volume relative to shares held) is significantly higher in the foreign market than in the domestic market. We also find that ownership of cross–listed shares by foreign investors is not motivated by diversification benefits. Instead, we find that the proportion of a firm's shares held in Singapore is directly related to the firm's level of systematic risk.     

Multiple Listing Service Subsidies and Economic Efficiency

In an earlier article in this journal, Sefton and Yavas (1995) concluded that subsidizing a monopoly multiple listing service (MLS) can be efficient when the curvature of the representative consumer's demand function leads to overshifting. This paper extends their analysis to a multiple-consumer demand model. It shows that, for the generalized demand configuration considered here, in general, there is no Pareto superior MLS subsidy supportable by nondiscriminatory MLS consumer taxes when the Pareto ranking is imposed without the Hicks–Kaldor compensation principle.     

The Effect of Political Uprisings on the Location of Price Discovery: Evidence from Egyptian Cross-Listed Equities

In this study, we aim to determine the location of price discovery for Egyptian cross-listed stocks around the political uprising that started on January 25, 2011, and resulted in a two-month stock market closure. We measure price discovery using Gonzalo and Granger's component share and Hasbrouck's information shares and find that, for some stocks, the contribution of the foreign market in pricing cross-listed equities increases in the period directly following the reopening of the Egyptian stock market. We discuss the factors that could explain the more pronounced shifts in the location of price discovery for some companies in the post-uprising period.     

Internationalization through foreign listing: A review and future research agenda

This paper reviews and synthesizes literature on foreign listing from international business, management, and finance disciplines. A systematic review of 66 studies from 25 journals indicates fragmentation of the literature across the macro and firm-specific perspectives and a limited usage of current international business theories in research on foreign listing. We propose multiple developmental paths including use of institutional theory, especially institutional distance and institutional evolution to provide more comprehensive understanding of antecedents and contingent factors for foreign listing; supply-chain disaggregation of cross-border capital flow; integrate financial and strategic implications of foreign listing; and advancement of emerging market specific theories.     

境外上市与企业投资效率

截至2021年11月,我国单独境外上市企业占到境外上市企业总数的88.32%,但单独境外上市的研究明显与该数据不匹配,研究数量缺乏。为扩充该方面研究,本文以2012~2020年单独在美国和中国香港上市的中资企业为研究对象,对境外上市与投资效率关系进行检验。实证结果发现,单独境外上市与境内上市企业相比投资效率更低,区分企业上市地点后发现,规模大、信息透明度低、存在代理成本的赴港上市企业比境内上市企业投资效率低,规模小、代理成本高、信息透明度低的赴美上市企业比境内上市企业投资效率低。通过机制分析发现,信息透明度、境外上市和非效率投资三者存在"遮掩效应",境外上市企业未能受到有效的信息约束。

Study on Problems of Group of Companies Listing as a Whole and Corporate Governance

Listing as a whole refers to reorganize all the enterprises＇ businesses, establish a stock corporation and increase capitals to list by issuing social public shares. TCL Group and Wuhan Iron and Steel （Group） Corporation have set a good example for other groups of enterprises that have parts of their assets listed, and will guide groups of enterprises which are affiliated to the center authority of China to list their assets. Listing as a whole, is beneficial to make clear the complex share-holding relationships between the group and its affiliates. It will also be beneficial to improve the whole structure of corporate governance, decrease the correlation trade, reduce the information disclosure cost, and solve the problem of the correlation trade between the group and its affiliates. However, it is far beyond the standard of what standardized corporate governance requires. Standardized corporate governance at least possesses two factors： One is the equality of the rights of shareholders, namely the same share with the same rights; the other is the clear rights boundary of the stakeholder and the existence of the efficient mechanism of equilibrium of rights. These two factors do not have the necessary relations to whether the group list as a whole or not, but depend on the maturity of the market and the soundness of the law and regulation.     

Foreign vs. domestic listing: An entrepreneurial decision

In this paper, we use a unique hand-collected dataset to analyze stock listing as an entrepreneurial decision. By comparing mainland Chinese entrepreneurial firms listed in Hong Kong with the same type of firms opting for a domestic listing on the Shenzhen second board market, we argue that the decision to list on a particular stock exchange is a question of entrepreneurial signaling, and often a trade-off between short-term financial considerations and the entrepreneur's pursuit of long-term benefits.     

巴西企业海外上市现象研究

近二三十年以来，巴西证券市场发展滞后，新股首发募集资金量少，在本土挂牌的公司数量逐年减少，而在美国上市的公司数量不断增多。除了宏观因素外，忽视对中小投资者保护的证券法规建设是导致这种现象的主要原因。巴西的经验教训对于我国发展资本市场大有裨益。     

上市公司社会责任财务绩效评价存在的问题成因及对策

目前,我国上市公司的社会责任财务评价存在诸多问题,国家没有具体规定评价体系,存在信息披露的不充分性和公司自身短视行为,对上市公司的财务评价造成制约。挖掘其原因,除了我国的研究起步相对晚外等历史原因,也有着社会责任存在不易使用会计指标反映的自身原因,不易量化的指标成为了社会责任财务评价绊脚石。要解决这些问题,不仅需要对上市公司披露社会责任信息进行强化和监管,更需要公众的监督。
