Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has long prevailed a conventional wisdom rationalizing why firms pursue overseas listings. It argues that firms seek such opportunities to benefit from a lower cost of capital that arises because their shares become more accessible to global investors. Much recent evidence challenges this conventional wisdom. In fact, several new research initiatives have been proposed that factor into the overseas listing decision many more complex risks that globalization can create at the firm level, such as agency conflicts, transparency and disclosure concerns, and other corporate governance problems. The goal of this article is to survey, synthesize and critically review this new literature and to identify yet unresolved questions to answer.

Download or read book Cross Listings and Liquidity Commonality Around the World written by Tung Lam Dang and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we investigate the effects of international cross-listings on commonality in liquidity. We find that cross-listings have asymmetric effects on cross-listed stocks' liquidity commonality that include reducing the stocks' liquidity commonality with the local market and increasing the stocks' liquidity commonality with the host market. We also find that the negative impact of cross-listings on home liquidity commonality is more pronounced for stocks from countries with high market segmentation, an opaque information environment, and a poor institutional infrastructure. These results suggest that cross-listings reduce the vulnerability of stocks' liquidity to aggregate liquidity shocks in the local market.
Download or read book Regional Financial Integration in Africa Cross listings as a Form of Regional Financial Integration written by Moses Wisdom Chisadza and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2014-02 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at contemporary issues facing financial markets in Southern Africa. It has been established that African stock markets are confronted with a multitude of problems which include inadequate liquidity, low capitalisation, few market participants, a small number of listed companies and low trading volumes. As a result, their broader economic impact has so far been limited. The Southern Africa Development Community (‘SADC’) stock markets, with the exception of South Africa, are small both in terms of the number of listed companies and market capitalisation, and they display considerable illiquidity. In general, the SADC region has shallow and underdeveloped financial markets. Their development has been hampered by a number of factors which include; political and economic uncertainty, fiscal dominance, weak judicial institutions, limited investment opportunities in the private sector, technological constraints, and the shortage of skilled personnel with expertise in banking and finance.
Download or read book Trading Company Shares at Multiple Stock Exchanges Costs and Benefits of U S Cross Listings written by Laura Kalinska and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 96/110, course: Principles of International Finance, language: English, abstract: This thesis project aims to test the hypothesis whether or not there exists enough empirical evidence to prove that companies from developed countries with well-functioning capital markets have seen deteriorating benefits from cross-listing in the United States. We find evidence that support our hypothesis in light of the significant number of European companies terminat-ing their U.S. cross-listings after requirements for deregistering listings from the U.S. became less stringent in the year 2007. The trend also continued with the number of cross-listings by companies from the developed world steadily declining during the subsequent five years. The most cited reasons for cross-listing in the United States, such as greater access to investors, liquidity, a higher valuation and thus a lower cost of capital seems not to hold as strongly anymore. At least not for companies that come from countries where its capital markets have experienced a steady development in corporate governance standards so as to match that of the United States. Evidence point to the fact that the benefits that held for all non U.S. firms still hold strongly only for those companies coming from emerging economies and whose equity market standards are still well below that of stock exchanges in the United States.
Download or read book Do Cross Listings Drive Regulatory Convergence Evidence from Germany written by Jochen Zimmermann and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyse the cross listing behavior of German firms on the world's major stock exchanges. We find that only a very small minority of firms with capital market orientation cross list. The U.S. and Switzerland are the most popular locations. Taking into account the type of listing in the U.S., we find no evidence for traditional economic motives of cross listings: Firms do not position themselves to raise funds, to lower their cost of capital by shareholder diversification or to reduce agency costs by opting into a more stringent regulation. The economic motives for convergence of stock market regulation seem thin. Cross listing behavior is therefore unlikely to have an impact on the future shape of the stock exchanges.

Book excerpt: Obwohl das wachsende Interesse an Cross-Listings in der ganzen Welt zu einer langen Debatte unter Akademikern und Praktikern über die Motive für Cross-Listings geführt hat, wurde den Firmen bezogene Motiven bisher wenig Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt. In dieser Studie wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob Faktoren, die die Leistung eines Unternehmens in einem Schwellenland beeinflussen, dessen Entscheidung für ein Cross-Listing auf dem US-Kapitalmarkt beeinflussen. Um die Hypothese zu testen, dass multinationale Unternehmen mit Wachstumschancen in den Vereinigten Staaten ihre Aktien zweitnotieren, wurden Echtzeitdaten von 278 Unternehmen aus verschiedenen Schwellenländern erhoben. Ein logistisches Regressionsmodell ergab, dass diese Unternehmen in den Vereinigten Staaten zweitnotiert sind, um die für ihr Wachstum erforderlichen Investitionsprojekte zu finanzieren. Das Ergebnis zeigt, dass die Theorien der bisherigen Literatur zu den Motiven für Cross-Listing auch nach mehr als einem Jahrzehnt noch gültig sind und dass Lücken in wenig erforschten Bereichen geschlossen werden können.*****Although the growing interest in cross-listings around the world has led to a long debate among academics and practitioners about the motive for cross-listing, little attention has been paid to firm-related motives. The question pursued in this study if factors that direct the performance of an emerging market firm affect their decision to cross-list in the US capital market. To test the hypothesis that multinational enterprises with growth opportunities cross-list in the United States, real-time data were collected from 278 firms across various emerging markets. A logistic regression model revealed that these firms cross-listed in the United States to finance investment projects required for their growth. The outcome shows that the theories of previous literatures regarding the motives for cross-listing are valid after more than a decade and that gaps can be filled in little-researched areas.

Download or read book Barriers to Global Stock Listing Among African Companies Is It Cost or Compliance written by Dr. Emmanuel Asoluka Ihejirika and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-09-11 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a classical empirical research study, the author investigated whether foreign investment into the U.S are hindered by SOX act, high compliance cost or high stock listing cost in NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges. This book is a practical and excellent resource for graduate academic research in business, showing how research methodology design and variables are operationalized. This book will benefit African firms and global investors listing shares overseas, including in U.S using Depositary Receipts (DRs). The increasing demand for Depositary Receipts is driven by the desire of individual and institutional investors to diversify their portfolios, reduce risk and invest internationally. While most investors recognize the benefits of global diversification, they also understand the challenges presented when investing directly in local trading markets. These obstacles can include inefficient trade settlements, uncertain custody services and costly currency conversions.
Download or read book Cross Listing Waves written by Sergei Sarkissian and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a 57-year global foreign listing sample, we identify cross-listing waves at the host market, home market, and industry levels. Waves in host markets are often due to cross-listing waves in proximate home markets. Consistent with gravity model implications and economic synergy arguments of cross-listing decisions, cross-listing waves in a given host country coincide with the outperformance of host and proximate home country's economies and financial markets. The valuation gains from listings associated with cross-listing waves are transitory, supporting the market timing component in these decisions. Our results provide novel evidence of non-monotonic market development across countries and over time.

Download or read book Cross Border Listings Capital Controls and U S Equity Flows to Emerging Markets written by Ms.Hali J. Edison and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We analyze capital flows to emerging markets in a framework that incorporates two quantitative measures of financial integration, the intensity of capital controls and the extent of cross border listings, while controlling for traditional global (push) and country specific (pull) factors. Two important results emerge. First, the cross listing of an emerging market firm on a U.S. exchange is an important but short lived capital flows event, suggesting that the cross listed stock is in effect a new security that U.S. investors quickly bring into their portfolios. Second, the effect of financial liberalization on capital flows is more nuanced than is suggested by event studies: A reduction in capital controls results in increased inflows only when the controls are binding. Among the standard push and pull factors, global factors are important-slack U.S. economic activity is associated with increased flows to emerging markets-and U.S. investors appear to chase expected, but not past, returns.

Download or read book Transformations in Global Governance written by Sushil Vachani and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings attention to the growing complexity of managing multinational firms in light of the rise to significant power of non-governmental organizations such as Amnesty International and the anti-WTO coalition. It also considers the renewed public doubts about MNE legitimacy as the free-market model comes under greater criticism, especially in emerging markets. The book adds very useful value in illuminating situations in which companies are facing increased impact of pressure groups as well as governments in their international business. The menu of papers really gives the reader some food for thought, and specifically for thinking about how more acceptable governance of MNEs can be pursued in the 21st century. Robert Grosse, The Garvin School of International Management, US In recent years a number of excellent books have been published on the failure of corporate governance. However, nothing compares with Sushil Vachani s Transformations in Global Governance, a gripping account of global corporate governance provided by recognized IB scholars. Subhash C. Jain, University of Connecticut, US An excellent book for scholars, business leaders, and policymakers that makes good on its title Transformations in Global Governance. Sushil Vachani and the book s contributors identify how the governance structures of organizations are being transformed not just shifted or adjusted. NGOs, the WTO, multilateral institutions, multinationals, host governments and many other stakeholders have new roles and rules that are redefining how one governs a successful and socially responsible global enterprise. A must read for those intending to lead their organization's change efforts in our global economy. Stephen A. Stumpf, Villanova University, US and co-editor of Handbook on Responsible Leadership and Governance in Global Business The world of multinational enterprises is changing dramatically. Their complex and dynamic international context presents them with special challenges threatening their survival on one hand, and presenting them with unprecedented opportunities on the other. In this volume, international experts analyze different aspects of the transformations in global governance: ideological variations, trade governance, competition policy and the rise of civil society. They discuss the implications for multinational government relations, multinationals self-governance, relations with NGOs and issues of competitiveness. The book focuses on two forces integral to the process of globalization. The first is the evolution of inter-governmental organizations, such as the World Trade Organization, and various agreements pertaining to trade, environment, labor, competition and investment. The other equally important factor is the rise of non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which have a significant impact on the strategies of multinational enterprises, governments and inter-governmental organizations. The contributors explore these forces in chapters detailing shifts in governance and their implications for multinationals, governments and society in general. This cohesive examination of an under-analyzed area will appeal to students and scholars of international business, and other researchers in management schools, think tanks, management consulting companies, government agencies, inter-governmental organizations, and NGOs.
