Indexing and the Incorporation of Exogenous Information Shocks to Stock Prices

Morck, Randall; Yavuz, Mehmet Deniz - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023

Savings increasingly flow to low-cost index funds, which simply buy and hold the stocks in a major index, such as the S&P 500. Increased indexing impedes incorporation of idiosyncratic information into stock prices. We limit endogeneity bias by showing that exogenous idiosyncratic currency...

This paper studies the predictability of ultra high-frequency stock returns and durations to relevant price, volume and transactions events, using machine learning methods. We find that, contrary to low frequency and long horizon returns, where predictability is rare and inconsistent,...

Does Firm-specific Information in Stock Prices Guide Capital Allocation?

Durnev, Artyom - 2001

We show that firms in industries in which firm-specific stock price variation is larger use more external financing and allocate capital with greater precision in the sense that their marginal q ratios are closer to one. According to the Efficient Markets Hypothesis, greater firm-specific stock...

Dow, James - 1995

In a capitalist economy prices serve to equilibrate supply and demand for goods and services, continually changing to reallocate resources to their most efficient uses. However, secondary stock market prices, often viewed as the most 'informationally efficient' prices in the economy, have no...

In a model where a variable Y[sub t] is proportional to the present value, with constant discount rate, of expected future values of a variable y[sub t] the "spread" S[sub t]= Y[sub t] - [theta sub t] will be stationary for some [theta] whether or not y[sub t]must be differenced to induce...

Do Asset Prices Reflect Fundamentals? Freshly Squeezed Evidence from the OJ Market

Boudoukh, Jacob - 2003

We show that when theory clearly identifies the fundamental, i.e., at temperatures …-thirds of the entire winter return variability occurs on these days. Moreover, when theory suggests no such relation, i.e., at … is good news for the theory and for market efficiency, not bad news. In terms of residual FCOJ return volatility, we also …

Equity market liberalizations as country IPOs

Martell, Rodolfo - 2003

Equity market liberalizations are like IPOs, but they are IPOs of a country's stock market rather than of individual firms. Both are endogenous events whose benefits are limited by poor investor protection, agency costs, and information asymmetries. As for stock prices following an IPO, there...

Private Information and Sunspots in Sequential Asset Markets

Benhabib, Jess - 2014

We study a model where some agents have private information about risky asset returns and trade to obtain capital gains, while others acquire the risky asset and hold it to maturity, forming expectations of returns based on market prices. We show that under such a structure, in addition to fully...
