Mispricing and Anomalies: An Exogenous Shock to Short Selling from JGTRRA
We investigate the causal impact of short-sale constraints on market anomalies by analyzing a comprehensive set of 182 anomalies. Our approach leverages a persistent, robust, and plausibly exogenous shock to short-selling supply caused by the dividend tax law change in the Job and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (JGTRRA) of 2003. Our findings reveal that anomalies decline after JGTRRA. However, this tax law change impedes arbitrageurs’ ability to correct mispricing, resulting in anomalies decaying less following dividend record months compared to other months post-JGTRRA. Furthermore, this effect is concentrated on overpriced stocks as opposed to underpriced stocks. Interestingly, while this shock significantly affects most types of anomalies, valuation anomalies remain unaffected.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Empirical Finance is a financial economics journal whose aim is to publish high quality articles in empirical finance. Empirical finance is interpreted broadly to include any type of empirical work in financial economics, financial econometrics, and also theoretical work with clear empirical implications, even when there is no empirical analysis. The Journal welcomes articles in all fields of finance, such as asset pricing, corporate finance, financial econometrics, banking, international finance, microstructure, behavioural finance, etc. The Editorial Team is willing to take risks on innovative research, controversial papers, and unusual approaches. We are also particularly interested in work produced by young scholars. The composition of the editorial board reflects such goals.
