We explore the impact of market structure on the ex-day price anomaly. Measuring the price-drop ratio (hereafter PDR) as the ratio of the price change on the ex-day to the dividend amount, we find that the average Nasdaq PDR is significantly less than one and significantly less than the NYSE PDR. We then investigate a subset of firms that voluntary switch from Nasdaq to the NYSE and find that the PDR significantly increases after the switch suggesting that market structure impacts PDRs. We also create a matched sample and find that the Nasdaq PDR converges toward its matched NYSE counterpart, particularly after the introduction of SuperMontage. Our evidence is consistent with significant Nasdaq market structure changes reducing execution cost differences between the two exchanges and, in turn, reducing the PDR difference. Overall, our results highlight the important role market structure can play in our understanding of anomalies.

Download The Ex-Dividend Day Stock Price Behavior in the Chinese Stock Market Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper analyzes the ex-dividend day stock price behavior in the Chinese stock market. This market, where dividends could be either taxable or non-taxable, allows us to examine the impact of tax effects while keeping any microstructure factors constant. The findings from non-taxable stocks show that their price, on the ex-dividend day, falls by an amount that equals the dividend. For the taxable sample, stock prices of small dividend yield stocks drop proportionally to the dividend paid. For the large dividend yield stocks, the price adjustment depends on the effective tax rate on dividend income. The overall findings are consistent with the tax hypothesis.

Download The Ex-Dividend Day Stock Price Behavior in the Athens Stock Exchange Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This paper analyzes the ex-dividend day stock price behavior in the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) over the period 1994-1999. This market is chosen because neither dividends nor capital gains are taxed and the ASE is not associated with the microstructure effects analyzed in prior studies. Our findings show that on the ex-dividend day, stock prices fall by less than the dividend paid. These findings cannot be attributed to tax effects. Although our evidence might be attributed to microstructure effects, we argue that the particular microstructure effects identified by prior studies may not be the determinant factors.

Download The Impact of Nominal Stock Price on Ex-Dividend Price Responses Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
We examine whether nominal stock price can help to explain the ex-dividend day anomaly. We find that stocks with lower nominal prices have ex-dividend day price drops that are more consistent with theoretical predictions based on an efficient market. After controlling for factors that have been previously documented to influence ex-dividend day stock price behavior, price-drop-to-dividend ratios are closer to one for lower priced stocks. To further explore this phenomenon, we examine the change in the price-drop-to-dividend ratio around stock splits. Firms that split their shares have price-drop-to-dividend ratios significantly closer to one after the split. Our evidence indicates that ex-dividend day stock price behavior is influenced by the nominal price of a share and that this relation could also influence the decision to split a firm's shares.

Download The Ex-Dividend-Day Behavior of Stock Prices Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
We provide a comprehensive empirical analysis of stock-price behavior around the ex-dividend day in Japan. We find that prices rise on the ex-day and that dividend-related tax effects appear to be secondary. Returns around ex-dividend days are dominated by the proximity of many ex-days to the fiscal year-end. Excess returns of 1%, which are independent of any dividend-related considerations, are higher than round-trip transaction costs on medium-sized transactions. Prices seem to imply selling pressure before, and buying pressure at the start of, the new fiscal year. These trading patterns appear to be motivated by intercorporate manipulative trading around the end of the firms' fiscal year, which are unrelated to dividends.

Download Ex-Dividend Day Stock Price Behavior - The NASDAQ Evidence Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
We use dividend-paying Nasdaq-listed firms as a setting to test various explanations of the ex-day price anomaly. Similar to NYSE-listed firms, on average the prices of Nasdaq-listed firms drop by less than the dividend amount on the ex-day. However, the average price-drop is half that observed for NYSE-listed firms and translates to an imputed dividend tax rate that is double the average maximum tax rate over the sample period. In addition, we find the ex-day price-drop increases in dividend yield, opposite the prediction from a tax clientele explanation. Moreover, for non-taxable distributions we find prices behave in a similar manner to taxable distributions on the ex-day, again suggesting taxes are not the primary reason for the price behavior. In sum, we find little support for tax-based explanations. We also find little support for short-term trading and market microstructure explanations. Importantly, our results are robust to transaction costs as proxied by stock price, liquidity, volatility, firm size and bid-ask spread. We supplement our analysis by investigating a subset of firms that voluntarily switch from the Nasdaq exchange to the NYSE. The average price-drop for the switching firms is similar to the Nasdaq average prior to the switch and resembles the NYSE average immediately after the switch. This change in price behavior potentially reflects a changing investor base and suggests the marginal investor of Nasdaq dividend-paying firms places relatively less importance on dividends. Overall, our results call into question the various explanations of the ex-day anomaly. Any potential explanation also needs to account for the Nasdaq evidence.

Download Stock Price Behavior Around Ex-Dividend Day Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In this paper the relative valuation of dividends and capital gains in the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) is investigated by testing if the ex-dividend price fall equals the dividend amount. This study deals with the ex-dividend price behavior considering 83 dividend-paying stocks over the 32-window period to the ex-dividend day, which are listed on Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) for the period of January 2003 through December 2005. On analyzing the raw price ratio (RPR), market adjusted price ratio (MAPR), raw price drop ratio (RPD), and market adjusted price drop ratio (MAPD), the results lead us to conclude that in the DSE the ex-dividend price prices increase instead of dropped, showing a clear preference for capital gains without having any focus on dividends.

Download An International Analysis of Factors Affecting Ex-dividend Day Stock Prices Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
We investigate stock price changes on the ex-dividend day in 37 countries. We hypothesize that, in addition to taxes, other market frictions should also affect ex-dividend day stock prices in world markets. Empirical results show that mean price drop ratios deviate significantly from their predicted values based on differential tax rates between dividends and capital gains, and that proxies for agency conflicts and information asymmetry also help explain these cross-country deviations. After controlling for these factors, the weighted average of investors' tax rate is reflected in the ex-dividend day price movements. The results are consistent with the idea that agency conflicts, information asymmetry and differential taxation of dividends and capital gains are all important factors affecting ex-dividend day stock prices in world markets.

We examine ex-dividend day behavior on the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. We report price drop ratios of 25%, well below the 70-80% from U.S. data. The tax clientele hypothesis predicts ratios between 57% and 126% based on the Danish tax structure. Our results conflict with tax and tick size models, but they are consistent with limit order adjustment explanations from Dubofsky (1992) and Jakob and Ma (2004, 2005). An unusual average price trading opportunity also facilitates the low ratios. Average price trades have no direct supply or demand impact in the market, and therefore do not drive the ratios toward one.

Download Decimalization and the Ex-Dividend Behavior of Stock Prices Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In this paper, we examine changes in the behavior of ex-dividend stock prices when the exchanges changed from pricing stocks in discrete intervals to decimal pricing. Based on prior models of ex-dividend behavior and price discreteness of Dubofsky and of Bali and Hite, we anticipate that the move to trading in decimals would decrease the variance of returns on all exchanges and increase the level of ex-dividend-day returns on the NYSE while reducing them on the Amex and Nasdaq.Our sample of ex-dividend-day returns covers periods slightly longer than one year before and after decimalization. For the overall sample and for each of the individual exchanges (Amex, Nasdaq and NYSE), the variances of ex-dividend returns experience a significant decrease after decimalization while the mean returns increase by a positive and significant amount. To account for the increase in ex-day returns on the Amex and Nasdaq, we develop an alternative model to explain the effect of discreteness on ex-day returns. Tests of the three models (Dubofsky's, Bali and Hite's, and ours) indicate that prior to decimalization, as expected, Dubofsky's model is better for explaining NYSE ex-day returns and ours fits the Nasdaq better. Bali and Hite's model, however, is unable to explain any of the pre-decimalization ex-day returns, including those of the Nasdaq where the Bali-Hite model might provide a reasonable description of ex-day market behavior. After decimalization, ex-dividend-day returns do not appear to follow either the scenario described by Dubofsky or by us. The most likely cause of this is that traders in the market are placing ex-dividend-day orders with limits somewhere between prices indicated by Dubofsky and by us.We also provide evidence that ex-dividend returns attributable to factors other than discreteness and the dividend yield actually declined following decimalization. Since the most obvious factor is transactions costs, we interpret this to be evidence of a reduction in ex-day returns caused by a reduction in transactions costs. We also find that the dividend yield is a significant influence on ex-dividend-day returns.
