We measure misvaluation using the discounted residual income model. Confirming the findings in the literature, we show that there are significant returns on a misvaluation based long-short portfolio that buys under- and sells short overvalued shares. We define misvaluation spread as the...

We study empirically how competition among high-frequency traders (HFTs) affects their trading behavior and market quality. Our analysis exploits a unique dataset, which allows us to compare environments with and without high-frequency competition, and contains an exogenous event - a tick size...

We study the relation between hedge fund equity holdings and measures of informational efficiency of stock prices derived from intraday transactions, as well as daily data. Our findings support the role of hedge funds as arbitrageurs who reduce mispricing in the market. Hedge funds invest in...

We examine the relation between changes in hedge fund stock holdings and measures of informational efficiency of equity prices derived from transactions data, and find that, on average, increased hedge fund ownership leads to significant improvements in the informational efficiency of equity...

Strategies that overweight low beta stocks and underweight high beta stocks earn positive alphas. Price noise is known to affect high beta stocks, hence, noise trading can be expected to significantly affect the performance of these strategies. I study the impact of flows between bond and equity...

Hedge funds' extensive use of derivatives, short-selling, and leverage and their dynamic trading strategies create significant non-normalities in their return distributions. Hence, the traditional performance measures fail to provide an accurate characterization of the relative strength of hedge...
