The increases in volatility subsequent to stock splits have long puzzled researchers. The usual suspects of discreteness and bid-ask spread do not provide a complete explanation. This paper offers clues to solve this mystery by examining the trading of quot;when, as and if issuedquot; shares that are available prior to the split. When-issued trading permits noise traders to compete with a more homogenous set of traders decreasing the volatility of the stock prior to the split date. Following the split, these noise traders reunite in one market and volatility increases. This suggests that the higher volatility after the ex-date of a stock split is a function of the introduction of when-issued trading before the ex-date, the new lower price level after the split date, and the increased activity of small-volume traders around a stock split.

This paper examines the relation between two institutional factors affecting stock price measurement, the bid-ask spread and price discreteness, and the increase in return variance after ex-dates of stock splits and stock dividends. Controlling for these measurement effects, the variance of daily returns still increases significantly after stock distributions. The variance of weekly returns also increases significantly, and the variance of returns for a control sample of nonsplitting firms shows no significant increase. Variance ratio tests show that bid-ask errors are small for NYSE stocks that split and therefore could not account for the large increase in variance. Price discreteness and the bid-ask spread do not explain increased variance after stock distributions.

This paper investigates the market reaction to stock splits, using a set of German firms. Similar to the findings in the U.S., I find significant positive abnormal returns around boththe announcement and the execution day of German stock splits. I also observe an increase in return variance and in liquidity after the ex-day. Apparently, legal restrictions strongly limit the ability of German companies to use a stock split for signaling. I find that abnormal returns around the announcement day are consistently much lower in Germany than in the U.S. Further, I find that abnormal returns around the announcement day are not related to changes in liquidity, but (negatively) to firm size, thus lending support to the neglected firm hypothesis. On the methodological side the effect of thin trading on event study results is examined. Using trade-to-trade returns increases the significance of abnormal returns, but the difference between alternative return measurement methods is relatively small in short event periods. Thus, the observed market reaction cannot be attributed to measurement problemscaused by thin trading.

The proceedings shed light on selected topics including economic management, public administration, and green development. Featuring scholarly works from the 4th International Conference on Economic Management and Green Development (ICEMGD 2021), this volume of proceedings showcases the papers composed with regard to a diverse range of topics situated at the intersecting field of Economic Management, Public Administration and Green Development. Arising as the top concern of the global community, issues of green development impose challenges for the academia to bridge the interdisciplinary prowess in tackling the gap of knowledge within concerned fields. ICEMGD 2021 is an annual conference initiated by the year of 2017 under the goal of bringing together intellectuals from economics, business management, public administration, and otherwise related spheres for the share of research methods and theoretical breakthroughs. The aim of the proceeding volume is for the integration of social scientific research methods with research into alarming development issues. The ICEMGD 2021 seeks to promote joint initiatives among well-established fields like macro- and microeconomics, international economics, finance, agricultural economics, health economics, business management and marketing strategies, regional development studies, social governance, and sustainable development. Featuring interdisciplinary contributions, this book will be of interest to researchers, academics, professionals and policy makers in the field of economic management, public administration, and development studies.

We develop a model of stock-split behavior in which the split serves as a costly signal of managers' private information because stock trading costs depend on stock prices. We present empirical evidence confirming the relation between stock trading costs and stock prices. The signaling model is estimated using a large sample of splits and explains a substantial fraction of the split-announcement returns.

Stock splits have attracted the attention of academicians and practitioners for a long time. Many debates revolve around these often called "cosmetic” events that do not bring about any direct valuation implications. In spite of their simplicity and theoretically no motivation for any potential reaction this corporate event exerts influence on various stock's characteristics like liquidity, rates of return, shareholders' base etc. Considering the time period 2000-May 2011 the author examines the behavior of share volume following the stock splits of companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange and reports a 1-percent significant deterioration of this proxy of liquidity. Additionally, the greatest amplitude of abnormal changes in liquidity is observed during two trading sessions around the actual stock split although there is provided no new information to the market through the physical split of the shares outstanding since it is well-known in advance. The results obtained are indicative of the fact that splitting the stock as opposed to liquidity and/or trading range hypotheses on splits leads to liquidity deterioration what, in turn, should result in greater liquidity risk faced inter alia by brokers and/or market makers who may be willing to compensate for this unfavorable corollary of the corporate event at issue and, as a result, to charge higher transaction costs in the form of e.g. greater bid-ask spreads. On the other hand, shareholders, both existing and prospective, are likely to demand higher compensation for increased risk by requiring greater returns on such stocks.

In this survey paper I summarize the literature's findings on the short-run and long-run effects of stock split announcements as well as what happens in the preceding and subsequent years around a stock split event. I also summarize how firm characteristics influence these results. Furthermore, I discuss the various theories regarding why splits occur and why stock return distributions change subsequent to split events. I specifically focus on the changes in the first and second moments of stock returns and analyze related theories such as optimal trading, optimal tick size, liquidity, and signaling. More importantly I present the pros and cons of each of these theories and discuss which of them are more plausible. I suggest that a combination of the several theories suggested in the literature can rationally explain the return distribution changes around stock splits. I conclude with suggestions for future research.

We examine one- to three-year performance of common stocks following 5596 stock split and 76 reverse split announcements made during the period 1976 to 1991. For stock splits, on average, the one- and three-year buy-and- hold abnormal after the announcement month are 7.05% and 11.87%, respectively. For reverse splits, the corresponding abnormal returns are - 10.76% and -33.90%. The results suggest that the market underreacts to both the stock split and the reverse split announcements. We also provide evidence that the signal in stock splits is related to change in dividends. In particular, the announcement period and the long-run abnormal returns are both positively associated with an increase in dividends.
