Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my first essay, I use additions to the S&P 500 index as a laboratory to investigate how the interaction between arbitrageurs and arbitrage risk affects security prices. I find that the price effect is strong when there is high arbitrage risk (as measured by the lack of close substitutes) and low presence of arbitrageurs (as measured by low ownership by active institutions). Furthermore, a strong presence of arbitrageurs moderates the effect of arbitrage risk on the post-addition price reaction of added stocks. I also find a significant decrease in arbitrageurs' ownership in the added stocks post addition. More importantly, this decrease is accompanied by a significant increase in arbitrageurs' ownership in the added stocks' close substitutes.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This dissertation is composed of three essays that address corporate diversification, market efficiency, and allocation of scarce financial resources. The analysis in chapter 2 examines the relationship between changes in firm organizational structure and fluctuations in market value. Organizational structure in this context is defined as the level of corporate diversification, and is measured as the dispersion of total firm sales among existing business segments. The speed and accuracy of the equities market's reaction to events such as corporate reorganization are tested in chapter 3. Finally, in chapter 4, we supplement our organizational structure analysis by examining managerial decision-making in an environment where resources are artificially bounded.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation finds new evidence on the relationship between diversification and firm performance. In Chapter Two, theory and evidence are presented showing how empirical studies accounting for the endogeneity of the diversification decision must also account for a firm's alternative uses for its free cash flow. This chapter examines dividends and stock repurchases in tandem with the firm's diversification decision and finds that the factors that lead a firm to diversify also make it more likely to pay a dividend. Controlling for this relationship, the diversification premium found by recent research correcting for endogeneity turns back into a discount. In Chapter Three, consideration is given to the possibility that different firms can have differing results from diversification. Using a random parameters model, a distribution of firm-specific diversification effects is estimated, finding that, while diversification destroys value on average, it creates value for a quarter of firms. This chapter also hypothesizes that firms may have an optimal portfolio of businesses, and firms that are not creating value from diversification could potentially do so through by diversifying further. Through a series of hypothetical related and unrelated diversification scenarios, this chapter finds that almost half of the diversified firms who are not creating value through their past diversification efforts would create value from further related diversification; while very few of the firms that are currently creating value from diversification would create value from further diversification. After observing the heterogeneity across firms in the impact of diversification on firm performance, theory and evidence is presented on the source of this heterogeneity in Chapter Four. Using a Bayesian linear hierarchical model, firm-specific effects of diversification on firm performance are estimated as a function of firm attributes. The main finding is that the firm-specific resources that allow a firm to succeed in its original business, allow the firm to succeed through related diversification. Unsuccessful firms will not find success simply by finding a new market in which to compete.

Book excerpt: This dissertation includes three essays that study topics of diversification discount, corporate investment, and employee stock options. The first essay proposes and tests a novel view that the diversification discount is largely an acquisition discount. I find that the manner in which diversification is achieved, organically or through acquisitions, matters. The diversification discount narrows by 10% to 14% if I account for acquisitions in my broad sample. My narrow sample provides a cleaner setting to identify the impact of growth mode on the discount: firms diversifying through acquisitions experience a significant decline in excess value after becoming diversified, while firms of organic growth do not. When pooled together, the diversifying firms exhibit a value-change pattern which closely tracks that of the acquisitive-growth subsample. This pattern is robust to within-firm comparisons, regressions, and matching estimations. I investigate possible causes and conclude it is consistent with inefficient investment hypothesis. The second essay examines the competitive investments of firms after recession shocks. I show that firms' strategic investments during the recovery phase of the cyclical downturn induce a compositional shift in investments within industries and help explain the slow economic recovery, thus adding an additional layer of cost to recessions. The third essay explores an alternative signaling theory and tests its implications in the case of firms' voluntary expensing of employee stock options and I find strong empirical support.
