| Abstract: | This study examines if U.S. cross-listing (hereafter as: x-ltg.) affects the information (here as: info) environment for non-U.S. stocks. The results suggest that x-ltg. has an asymmetric impact on stock price informativeness (as: pr-info-s.) globally, as measured by firm-specific (as: f-spc.) stock return variation. X-ltg. improves pr-info-s. for developed market firms. However, for firms in emerging markets, x-ltg. decreases pr-info-s. The added analyst coverage (as: a-a-cvg.) associated with x-ltg. likely explains the findings in emerging markets, rather than changes in ownership, liquidity, or accounting quality. The results indicate that the a-a-cvg. fosters the production of marketwide info, rather than f-spc. info. |
