We empirically test whether the disposition effect, the inclination of investors to sell winning stocks more readily than losing stocks, has an asymmetrical impact on the price adjustment on the ex-dividend day. Using aggregate market data for a sample of ordinary taxable dividends of common...

This study places Dubofsky’s (1992) “limit order adjustment hypothesis” under the microscope of an intraday analysis, which employs a minute-by-minute trade and quote data recorded during the ex-dividend days of common stocks listed on NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ. Dufosky’s (1992) model...

We empirically test whether the disposition effect has an asymmetrical impact on the price adjustment on the ex-dividend day of common stocks listed in NYSE and AMEX during the 2001-2008 period. We find that stocks with accrued gains have a greater ex-day price drop ratio (PDR) than stocks with...

This study reexamines Dubofsky's (1992) limit order adjustment hypothesis via an intraday analysis of minute-by-minute trade and quote data recorded on the ex-dividend days of common stocks listed on the NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ. According to Dubofsky's (1992) model, the asymmetric adjustment of...

This paper re-examines the impact of the EU Market Abuse Directive (MAD) on the market reaction around share repurchase announcements. We use a unique hand-collected dataset of firms listed on the Athens Stock Exchange, and we find evidence that contrasts with previous conclusions for large...

We use a comprehensive cross-country sample to investigate whether and how the country-level social capital influences the firm-level stock price crash risk. We document a negative and statistically significant effect, which is robust to various tests including IV estimations that account for...
