Abstract: | The authors examine the stock market effect of changes in the composition of the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). Unlike S&P 500 listing studies, the authors find that the price and the trading volume of newly listed DJIA firms are unaffected. The authors attribute this result to a lack of index fund rebalancing, since index trading is limited for most of their sample period and index funds mimic the S&P 500, not the DJIA. Firms removed from the index, however, experience significant price declines. |
