This article examines long memory for alternative risk measures, observed absolute and squared returns for Daily Equity real estate investment trust (REITs) and compares the findings for a market equity index. The article utilizes a variety of tests for long memory finding evidence that REIT volatility does display persistence. Trading volume is found to be strongly associated with long memory. Results suggest differences in the findings with regard to REITs in comparison to the broader equity sector.","PeriodicalId":314321,"journal":{"name":"SPGMI: SNL Financial Data (Topic)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114204562","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}

{"title":"The Role of Executive Stock Options in REIT Repurchases","authors":"Chinmoy Ghosh, John P. Harding, Ö. Sezer, C. Sirmans","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.912532","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.912532","url":null,"abstract":"This paper examines the relationship between managerial stock option holdings and the decision to announce a repurchase of the firm’s common stock. Managerial stock option holdings should reinforce the traditional undervaluation, free cash flow, and capital structure motives for repurchases by helping to align the objectives of management and shareholders. Data from the Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) industry during the peak period of repurchase activity (1997?999) are used to estimate a logit model of the decision to announce a repurchase program. After controlling for the standard motivations discussed in the literature, the findings reveal that managerial option holdings are positively related to the likelihood of a repurchase announcement.","PeriodicalId":314321,"journal":{"name":"SPGMI: SNL Financial Data (Topic)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128560383","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}
