We analyze the decision to announce an open market share repurchase and the share price reaction to the announcement.

This approach requires a ‘non-event sample’ of firms that could reasonably be expected to announce a rep...

The probability of share repurchases that increase earnings per share (EPS) is sharply higher for firms that would have just missed the EPS forecast in the absence of the repurchase, when compared with firms that “just beat” the EPS forecast. We use this discontinuity to show th...
