| Abstract: | This paper analyses the stock price impact of firms' U.S. cross-listing (hereafter as: c-l.) on home-market rival firms (here as: r-fs). Using an empirical event study approach, there is found negative cumulative average abnormal returns for the r-fs. around both the c-l. and announcement of listing dates. Both positive and negative spillover effects are suggested on r-fs., with the dominant effect being of investors seeing rivals at a relative disadvantage to the c-l. firm. As firms cross-list in the U.S. and commit to the increased disclosure and investor protection associated with the U.S. listing, they can better take advantage of growth opportunities relative to their non-c-l. counterparts. This results in negative spillover effects on r-fs. These results are consistent with the idea that firms cross-list as a means to reduce agency costs of controlling shareholders etc. |
