We evaluate the role of foreign short-sale restrictions in muting the full return-response following negative earnings surprises for stocks cross-listed in unbanned markets. We update the global timeline of short-sale restrictions until the COVID-19 crisis period. Instead of regulatory price...

A central conjecture of behavioural finance is that arbitrage opportunities appear as a result of systematic irrational investment behaviour and persist since real-world arbitrage trades actually involve costs and risks due to market frictions and non-fundamental risk. This paper shows that the...

While the body of literature on arbitrage opportunity identification is well established in the financial, energy, and real-estate markets, research on arbitrage in the retail marketplace is relatively limited. As arbitrage opportunities in this context differ inherently from other markets, we...

The basic goal of this paper is to investigate the efficacy of a financial notion called Statistical Arbitrage for evaluating the efficiency of the Tehran Stock Exchange. According to this notion, a profit can be gained while its risk decreases over time and tends toward zero. In order to...

Classic option pricing theory values a derivative contract via dynamic replication, and views the derivative as redundant relative to the replicating portfolio. In practice, while dynamic replication proves highly effective in drastically reducing the risk in derivative investments, the...

The rise of stock indexing has raised concerns that index investing impedes arbitrage and degrades price discovery. This paper uses Russell’s reconstitution to identify the causal effect of index investing on information arbitrage and price discovery. While index investing has no discernible...

This study applies the Caginalp & Balenovic (1999) model for asset flow dynamics to fully collateralized stablecoins. The analysis provides novel insights on how trend-reversion and reactions to peg deviations work together to keep stablecoin prices close to the price they are targeting. A...

In this paper, I propose and test a new channel that can affect bank lending in an emerging markets setting. This channel works as follows. When there are covered interest rate parity (CIP) deviations, banks attempt to arbitrage them. This requires banks to borrow in a particular currency. In...

We study the dynamics of cash-and-carry arbitrage using the U.S. crude oil market. Sizable arbitrage-related inventory movements occur at the NYMEX futures contract delivery point but not at other storage locations where, instead, operational factors explain most inventory changes. We add to the...

A major question in the literature on the classical gold standard concerns the efficiency of international arbitrage. Most authors have examined efficiency by looking at the spread of the gold points, gold-point violations, the flow of gold in profitable or unprofitable directions, or by tests...
