Abstract
This paper empirically investigates the effects of exchange demutualization on listed firms around the world. In particular, it examines how stock exchange demutualization affects stock liquidity and how the effect varies by exchange operating performance and country development level. We find that stock liquidity improves following exchange demutualization. Specifically, the effect is more evident among exchanges with stronger operating performance which tend to diversify their revenue, and which belong to developed countries. Furthermore, we identify an increase in the market share of exchanges in developed markets in response to exchange ownership conversion, which is mostly driven by domestic order flow. Overall, this paper highlights the importance of the exchange ownership structure strategy in enhancing financial market quality in international markets.
期刊介绍:
International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
