Consistent with the market efficiency hypothesis that the anomalies are chance results, apparent overreaction to information is about as common as underreaction, and post-event continuation of pre-event abnor ..."

The fading abnormal returns of momentum strategies

"... We find increasingly large variations in returns from momentum strategies in recent years. Momentum strategies did not earn significant excess returns during the period of 1993-2004 which was due to their poor performance over the period from 2001-2004. Using subsamples of smaller capitalization sto ..."

The enforcement of the ban on insider trading requires an evaluation of the disgorgement, i.e. the capital gain of the insider trader who takes advantage of the exploitation of preferential information. An initial step forward on this topic has been taken by the SEC, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which has developed a quantitative procedure based on the event-study methodology. This paper develops an adaptation of this procedure for the Italian market and explains the limits of these methodologies in the analysis of the insider-trading phenomenon. In particular,
Improved methods for tests of long-run abnormal stock returns

"... We analyze tests for long-run abnormal returns and document that two approaches yield well-specified test statistics in random samples. The first uses a traditional event study framework and buy-and-hold abnormal returns calculated using carefully constructed reference portfolios. Inference is based ..."

, 2003
"... During the 1990s, concerns that nonprofit (NP) hospitals were being sold at below-market prices to investor-owned (IO) chains helped to prompt the widespread adoption of state laws regulating the sale and conversion of nonprofits. In this paper we provide tests of under-pricing, both before and afte ..."

Short-Selling Constraints and Momentum Abnormal Returns

Short selling risk is the unique risk that only the loser portfolio bears and may explain the bulk of the momentum abnormal return ..."

By using this new proxy, we find the short-selling constraints explain the momentum abnormal returns from the loser portfolio strongly and independently. Stocks which
