We complement these traditional explanations with a new theory proposed by Ellul and Pagano (2006) where investors worry also about the after-market illiquidity that may result from asymmetric information after the IPO. The less liquid the after-market is expected to be, the larger will be the IPO underpricing. The samples are the 41 IPOs carried out between 2001-2005. The samples are 7 Shari'ah-based firms and 34 non Shariah-based firms. Shariah-based firms are those included in Jakarta Islamic Index (JII), at least one period (one semester). Regression results show that the relationship between after-market liquidity and underpricing is insignificant unless we use trading frequency as proxy for liquidity for non Shariah-based firms.展开更多

The empirical results reveal that in China, the degree of IPO underpricing measured by first-day return is more than 100%, which is a prevailing phenomenon for almost all IPO firms, regardless of the IPO time and the industry of the firm The degree of IPO underpricing in China is larger than the IPO initial returns documented in almost all the other countries. This considerable underpricing in China can hardly be explained by the information asymmetry theory and agency theory.展开更多

This phenomenon obviously contradicts Efficient M arket Hypothesis,indicating that IPO underpricing in C hina is severe. This paper investigates the causes for IPO underpricing and probes into the countermeasures for the phenomenon from several aspects such as government's regulation,capital markets,IPO bookbuilding mechanism and pricing mechanism,etc. The severe IPO underpricing is likely to cause massive speculation of newshares in the secondary market and increase volatility. Therefore,it is of great significance to make researches on the issue of high underpricing so as to ensure the sound development of the stock market.展开更多
