Tiivistelmä: | This paper deals with the issue of negative skewness (hereafter as: neg-skew.) from a different angle to previous studies by combining the Trueman's 1997 model of management disclosure practices with symmetric market responses to explain neg-skew. in stock returns (here as: s-rets). Empirical tests reveal that s-rets. for days when non-scheduled news items are disclosed are the source of neg-skew. in s-rets., as predicted. These findings suggest that neg-skew. in s-rets. is induced by asymmetries in the news disclosure policies of firm management. In addition, it is found that the s-rets. are negatively skewed only for non-scheduled firm-Specific news disclosures for firms where the management is compensated with stock options. |
