Cette recherche analyse la distinction du second plan par rapport au premier plan (valeur de «moindre importance»). Dans le cadre de cette distinction, une typologie des unités textuels de textes techniques est proposée et sa réalité psychologique évaluée expérimentalement. On montre que le repérage des valeurs illocutoires des unités textuelles sur la seule base du langage est difficile. Deux expériences étudient alors, sur papier et sur écran, l'effet du marquag…

The cost of equity and exchange listing evidence from the French stock market

We reconsider the behaviour of prices around the period close to the listing on the Marché à Règlement Mensuel (RM).

Valuation Effects of Listing on a More Prominent Segment of the Stock Market: Evidence from France

We examine the behaviour of stock prices during the period around the transfer to the Marchea Reglement Mensuel. First, we discuss the financial reasons, which can justify abnormal returns around the transfer. Second, an event study based on a sample of 71 firms is set up to test the existence of the exchange listing effect on the French market. Third, we explore three hypotheses in order to explain the impact on stock returns: the informative content of the transfer, the increase in the relative size of the firm’s investor base, and the reduction of trading costs (immediacy and adverse selection). Cross–sectional regressions show that the increase in the relative size of the firm’s investo…
