US dollar swap lines are well studied, but much less is known about the effects of liquidity lines in euros. We use a difference-in-differences strategy to show that the announcement of ECB euro liquidity lines has a direct positive signalling effect since the premium paid by foreign agents to borrow euros in FX markets decreases up to 76 basis points relative to currencies not covered by these facilities. Additionally, the paper provides suggestive evidence that these facilities generate positive spillbacks to the euro area since domestic bank equity prices increase by 6.7% in euro area countries highly exposed via banking linkages to countries whose currencies are targeted by liquidity lines.","PeriodicalId":233958,"journal":{"name":"European Finance eJournal","volume":"BME-28 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132728190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that NIRs act as a de-facto tax levied by central banks and investigate how this ‘tax’ affects banks’ corporate tax planning. Using a sample of domestic banks in OECD countries and a difference-in-difference research design, we find that banks affected by negative interest rate policies exhibit an increase in tax planning following the adoption of NIR, compared to unaffected banks. We document that the introduction of NIRs is associated with a 2.3 to 2.6 percentage point decrease in GAAP ETR and that the effects of NIRs are more pronounced in banks with a lower distance to default or lower reserves, and in countries with lower levels of tax enforcement or lower levels of trust in the government. Collectively, our results suggest that NIRs lead banks to increase tax planning as a funding source.","PeriodicalId":233958,"journal":{"name":"European Finance eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130648721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Exploiting recent developments on production network data of US-listed firms, we show that firms experience greater valuation losses during industry downturns when their suppliers are financially constrained. Our baseline downstream amplification effect corresponds to roughly 60% of the horizontal amplification documented in the literature. We find stronger impacts of downturns when: (i) suppliers are more constrained; (ii) firms depend more on specific inputs; and (iii) suppliers are more concentrated. The effects are attenuated or muted at high levels of downstream firms' accounts payable and upstream firms' accounts receivable, suggesting trade credit as a mechanism through which the downstream channel operates. Our findings uncover two network implications of financing constraints: a more severe contagion of negative shocks through supplier-customer links and an amplification of downstream industries' aggregate valuation losses.","PeriodicalId":233958,"journal":{"name":"European Finance eJournal","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127102926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By analysing the impact of each suspension wave occurring between 2018 and 2020, I show that, during the pre-COVID-19 pandemic period, the dark trading suspension improves market liquidity, worsens informational efficiency, and reduces return volatility, whereas, during the post-COVID-19 pandemic period, the suspension imposes exactly opposite effects on market quality. I also find that lifting the dark trading suspension induces exactly opposite impacts, with a larger effect size, compared to triggering suspension, providing more statistically powerful evidence of how dark trading affects market quality. These results imply that the Double Volume Cap mechanism may have brought about many unintended consequences to the market when the market needs liquidity and stability the most and when the suspension is relaxed. Nevertheless, I do identify evidence that the market gradually learns and adapts to the new trading environment as market participants reduce their reliance on dark pools over time, a result consistent with the policymaker's original objective.","PeriodicalId":233958,"journal":{"name":"European Finance eJournal","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124515506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper examines income smoothing, which is a type of earnings management. It compares the income smoothing behaviour of banks in the UK, France, South Africa and Egypt.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses the panel fixed effect regression methodology to analyse bank income smoothing.FindingsThe findings show that bank income smoothing is present in the UK and Egypt and absent in France and South Africa. Banks in Egypt used LLPs to smooth income before the global financial crisis. Meanwhile, bank income smoothing is pronounced in France during and after the financial crisis but was absent in the pre-crisis period. Also, bank income smoothing is reduced in countries that (1) have strict banking supervision, (2) adopt common law particularly the United Kingdom, and by countries that adopt civil law, particularly France and Egypt. Bank earnings management is greater in countries that (3) adopt a mixed legal system, particularly South Africa, and in countries that adopt International Financial Reporting Standards accounting standards.Research limitations/implicationsThe implication of the findings is that country differences may affect banks' incentive to smooth income using loan loss provision.Originality/valueThe novelty of this paper is that it explicitly analyses specific countries that have different supervisory regimes, different structure and accounting rules.","PeriodicalId":233958,"journal":{"name":"European Finance eJournal","volume":" 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132158320","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We suggest a simple model that explains active capital allocations in the presence of time-varying active fee. We show that investors respond in accordance with the model's prediction of a negative relationship between active fee and subsequent flows. Our findings can be interpreted as negative price elasticity of demand for active management, where one standard deviation change in active fee translates into a shift in net flow of 83.4 bps. This effect implies a 42% change in the unconditional expected yearly flow. The time-series relation is driven by both the activity level and the excess cost of active management. The result also holds after controlling for Morningstar Ratings.","PeriodicalId":233958,"journal":{"name":"European Finance eJournal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131545677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using intraday data from the period 4/1/2021 - 5/2/2021, we show that the GME stock price exhibited abnormal behavior. The Runs-test confirms that the GME returns were not randomly distributed, which is an indication of a violation of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). Moreover, we employ the asymmetry EGARCH(1,1,1) model and we provide evidence that an exceptional time series feature emerged during the examined period: the anti-leverage effect. In contrast to what the time series normally show, volatility increased when the GME prices increase. The combination of the short squeeze and the investors’ coordination may be the appropriate conditions for the anti-leverage effect to emerge, which may be a new way to econometrically show violation of the EMH. The outcome of this analysis is useful for scholars and regulators because coordination among investors is easier than ever in the internet era and such events may happen again in the future; even under normal conditions (not during a short squeeze) this could lead to market instability.","PeriodicalId":233958,"journal":{"name":"European Finance eJournal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128421220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
