Anything Wrong with Breaking a Buck? An Empirical Evaluation of NASDAQ’s $1-Minimum-Price Maintenance Criterion
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper empirically evaluates the effects of NASDAQ’s $1-minimum-bid-price threshold (known as the one-dollar rule) as part of its listing maintenance criteria. Even though this controversial rule was introduced as early as in September 1991, it remained unexplored by academic research. Empirical evidence compiled in this study suggests that the implementation of this one-dollar rule is justified: (i) NASDAQ stocks frequently trading below $1 during the pre-rule period are extremely vulnerable to catastrophic losses; (ii) there is a dramatic decline in extreme downside price movements in stocks trading below $1 after the rule was introduced; and (iii) the $1 benchmark serves as an appropriate cutoff point because a large difference in extreme downside price movements is observed between the stocks trading below and above $1. JEL Classification: G10; G14; and G18

New empirical failure criterion for shale
A new failure criterion was presented to predict the ultimate strength of shale under the triaxial and polyaxial state of stress. A database containing 93 datasets was obtained from the results of the uniaxial, triaxial, polyaxial compressive tests, an indirect tensile test was collected from reliable references, and this test was carried out on the shale samples taken from the southwestern oil...

متن کاملA Study on the Contact Ellipse and the Contact Pressure During the Wheel Wear through Passing the Tracks including Several Sharp Curves
Wheel wear has been a concern in the railway for several decades. Studying the form change of the wheel/rail contacts in particular railways consisting of sharp curves helps to identify the risk of severe or catastrophic wear to minimize maintenance costs in order to be competitive in the transportation business. In this paper, the wheel/rail contact was studied on the particular railways. The ...
