ABSTRACT
We study the long-run performance of 166 IPOs listed on China’s Shanghai Stock Exchanges from 2000 to 2002. We find that the average market-adjusted cumulative return and buy-and-hold return over the three years after listing are -32.02% and -20.88%, which are both significantly negative. What’s more, as an additional robustness check, we cal-culate wealth relatives. One year after listing, WR less than 1 and we obtain a three-year wealth relative of 0.6826, consistent with the CAR and BHAR estimates. We then use a cross-sectional analysis to explain the long-run underper-formance of Chinese IPOs. The results show that the aftermarket performance is positive after listing (6 months) but thereafter returns decline. Buying A-share IPOs immediately after listing and holding the investment for three years results in negative returns and wealth relatives less than one.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...
