Tiivistelmä: | While theoretical models predict a decrease in the cost of capital from depositary receipt offerings, the economic benefits of this liberalization have been difficult to quantify. Using a sample of 126 firms from 32 countries, the authors document a significant decline of 42% in the cost of capital. In addition, the authors show the decline is driven by the ability of U.S. investors to span the foreign security prior to cross- listing. The authors' findings support the hypothesis that financial market liberalizations have significant economic benefits. |
