| Abstract: | This paper examines the impact of arbitrage (henceforth as: arb.) activity (here as: arb-acty.) on underlying equity markets. Especially, changes in equity short interest following convertible bond (here as: c-b.) issuance are used to identify c-b. arb-acty. Its impact on stock market liquidity and prices from 1993 to 2006 is analyzed. There is considerable evidence of arb.-induced short selling resulting from issuance. Moreover, there is found strong evidence that this activity is systematically related to liquidity improvements in the stock. |
