Nuestros resultados confirman que: a)cuando un mismo sujeto asume dirección ejecutiva y presidencia de la junta, en contra de todo pronóstico, ha tenido efectos beneficiosos sobre la gestión corporativa, permitiendo que esas anomalías se vayan diluye…
Problemas en la estimación y en el contraste de los rendimientos anormales a largo plazo: Estado de la cuestión
2002
-Jose.E.Farinos@uv.es -Ana.M.Ibanez@uv.es El paradigma de la eficiencia ha sido puesto en entredicho en las últimas décadas como consecuencia de la obtención de rendimientos anormales, estadística y económicamente significativos, durante amplios periodos de tiempo tras algunas importantes decisiones empresariales. No obstante, los problemas conceptuales y estadísticos que presenta la medición y contrastación de los rendimientos anormales a largo plazo ha supuesto que la evidencia obtenida pase a calificarse como anomalía. Dada la escasa proliferación de este tipo de estudios en nuestro mercado y el desafortunado desarrollo de algunos de los existentes, en este trabajo presentamos estos prob…
The cost of equity and exchange listing evidence from the French stock market
1997
We reconsider the behaviour of prices around the period close to the listing on the Marché à Règlement Mensuel (RM). First, an event study based on a sample of 60 firms has been set up to test the existence of the exchange listing effect on the French market. Then we discuss and test the financial reasons which can justify abnormal returns around the announcement day and the day of the listing. We explore four reasons to explain the impact of the stock exchange listings: one is the informative content of the operation which induces an upward revision of the future earnings. Three other hypotheses rely on a decrease in the discount rate originated by less risky cash flows, an increase in tra…
The Speed of Incorporating Information into Prices
2013
Abstract To determine the speed of adjusting asset prices to the latest market information, investors usually resort to semi-strong form efficiency tests. Semi-strong form efficiency is based on the assumption that stock prices adjust rapidly as a result of new public information. The objective of the event study conducted in this paper was to examine whether new information is incorporated into the share price in a single price change after its public distribution. We analyzed the price behaviour of companies listed under Category I of the Bucharest Stock Exchange around events such interim result announcements between June and November 2012.
Toeholds and takeover probability: implications for investment strategies
2009
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose various toehold indicators and analyse whether the models incorporating these indicators can be used to establish investment strategies.Design/methodology/approachLogistic regression is used to test toehold indicator significance.FindingsThe results reflect that the designed measures are positively correlated to the likelihood of launching a takeover, although the power of the models to predict out‐sample takeovers is moderate, between 60.71 percent and 71.59 percent. The indicators allow us to design strategies which offer positive abnormal returns. In particular, abnormal return over the Fama‐French factors is 0.5 percent.Originality/valueToe…
Corporate entrepreneurship and governance: Mergers and acquisitions in Europe
2022
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are a form of corporate entrepreneurship involving strategic decisions that require discussion and approval by the board of directors of the acquiring firm. We focus on board attributes to analyze the entrepreneurial function of the board of directors and its involvement in corporate entrepreneurship. Building on different theories (agency theory, resource dependence theory, stewardship theory, and stakeholder theory), we examine whether board composition affects the number of acquisitions, the risk involved in bids, and the creation of value for the acquirer's shareholders. For a sample of European firms over the period 2002 to 2020, we find that board size a…
Do Investors Care About Noise Trader Risk?
2011
International audience; The link between investor sentiment and asset valuation is at the center of a long-running debate in behavioral finance. Using a new composite sentiment indicator, we show that the conventional risk does not explain the abnormal returns of portfolios most sensitive to the sentiment factor. Our result supports the existence of a sentiment risk valued by financial markets. We also find that the firms more impacted by the sentiment risk correspond to difficult-to-arbitrage and hard-to-value stocks, e.g. small stocks, growth stocks, young stocks, unprofitable stocks, lower dividend-paying stocks, intangible stocks and high volatility stocks.

2005
In this research we investigate whether quarterly earnings announcements are informative using awide sample of firms listed in the Spanish Stock Market (SIBE). We study the period comprised between thethird quarterly of 2002 and the fourth quarterly of 2003. We analyse whether abnormal returns are related tothe quarter in which the announcement is released, whether the announcement implies good or bad news forthe firm, the source of the information, the size of the firm and whether the firm is followed by analysts.Results show that quarterly earnings announcements are informative. We also obtain evidence of a possibleuse of insider information in the case of the announcements disclosed in t…
