A few security analysts engaged in quantitative analysis long before computers became readily available. This study presents an example dating from 1972. An analyst examined the fixed cost–variable cost structure of General Motors by creating a nonlinear algebraic model, transforming the model...

We analyze the impact of regulation and option introduction on the price effects of secondary equity offerings before and after options are introduced on the underlying stocks. After controlling for the implementation of SEC Rules 10b-21 in 1988 and 105 in 1997, we find that option availability...
