Hot and Cold Cycles for African Emerging Share Ipo Market Evidence from Tunisia
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper seeks to detect hot and cold IPO cycles in the Tunisian share market using a Markov regime switching model. Using a set of IPO activity measures (number of IPOs, level of underpricing, market conditions and duration), we establish a model which estimates these activity measures in hot and cold periods respectively. We depict the turning points from 1998 to 2012 for each activity measure. It is found that Tunisian stock market is cold in the major period. As regards to cycles, the segmentation method gives almost the same periods, except for the trading volume which gives a different segmentation. © 2014 AESS Publications. All Rights Reserved.

متن کاملAre share price levels informative? Evidence from the ownership, pricing, turnover and performance of IPO firms
We ask whether a firm’s choice of IPO price is informative in the sense that it relates systematically to the firm’s other choices and characteristics. We find that both institutional ownership and underwriter reputation increases monotonically with the chosen IPO price level. We also find that the relationship between IPO price and underpricing is U-shaped. In contrast, post-IPO turnover displ...
