We model 73.62 million London Stock Exchange (LSE) trades and show that the LSE's high rate of failure to open at the opening auction only relates to low volume stocks. Low volume stock traders avoid trading until the open; this seems connected to their evading the informed trading-dominated...

Using monthly foreign flows data from Madrid Stock Exchange, we analyze the interaction between foreigners’ trading and stock returns, both marketwide and on individual stocks. We show that global risk appetite has a significant role in driving marketwide foreign investor flows. Our data of...

We investigate how idiosyncratic and systematic effects impact the volatility risk of U.K. cross-listed stocks. Under the hypothesis that more stock followers enhance information effects on volatility, we examine whether variation in volatility of a cross-listed stock has in a bivariate setting...

This study investigates in the context of the Euronext, whether joining an exchange group affects herding in the group's member-markets and if this effect persists when accounting for various domestic and international market states, the dynamics of the group's member-markets and the outbreak of...

A technique used to assess relative performance in a multiple input–output framework is data envelopment analysis (DEA). In basic DEA models, an entity may show its best performance by selecting input and output factor weights different from those selected by the other entities in the sample....

This paper examines the impact of cultural distance on the underpricing of initial public offerings issued by foreign firms in the United States (foreign IPOs). Using a sample of 503 foreign IPOs from 27 countries for the 1980–2012 period, we find that greater cultural differences between U.S....

In this paper, we examine the forecasting performance of the Value-at-Risk (VaR) models in the MENA equity markets. We use the Asymmetric Power ARCH model to analyze four MENA emerging markets, namely Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and Turkey. While most empirical studies focus only on holding a long...

In this paper, we examine market share drivers of a prominent alternative trading venue (Chi-X) in an international context. We find that Chi-X׳s market share is negatively related to trading fees and latency, while positively related to liquidity relative to primary exchanges. Venue market...

In this paper, we investigate the effects of international cross-listings on commonality in liquidity. We find that cross-listings have asymmetric effects on cross-listed stocks׳ liquidity commonality that include reducing the stocks׳ liquidity commonality with the local market and increasing...

This paper makes two contributions to the literature. First, we build on the methodology of Ang and Liu (2004) to model the cost of capital term-structure for firms subject to foreign exchange (FX) risk. We emphasize the role of time-varying parameters such as FX risk and factor loadings....
