Description: <br/>Judging by the sheer number of papers reviewed in this Handbook, the empirical analysis of firms financing and investment decisionsempirical corporate financehas become a dominant field in financial economics. The growing interest in everything corporate is fueled by a healthy combination of fundamental theoretical developments and recent widespread access to large transactional data bases. A less scientificbut nevertheless importantsource of inspiration is a growing awareness of the important social implications of corporate behavior and governance. This Handbook takes stock of the main empirical findings to date across an unprecedented spectrum of corporate <u><strong><font color="#ff0000">finance</font></strong></u> issues, ranging from econometric methodology, to raising capital and capital structure choice, and to managerial incentives and <u><strong><font color="#ff0000">corporate</font></strong></u> investment behavior. The surveys are written by leading <u><strong><font color="#ff0000">empirical</font></strong></u> researchers that remain active in their respective areas of interest. With few exceptions, the writing style makes the chapters accessible to industry practitioners. For doctoral students and seasoned academics, the surveys <u><strong><font color="#ff0000">of</font></strong></u>fer dense roadmaps into the <u><strong><font color="#ff0000">empirical</font></strong></u> research landscape and provide suggestions for future work.<br/><br/>*The <u><strong><font color="#ff0000">Handbook</font></strong></u>s in Finance series offers a broad group of outstanding volumes in various areas of finance<br/>*Each individual volume in the series should present an accurate self-contained survey of a sub-field of <u><strong><font color="#ff0000">finance</font></strong></u><br/>*The series is international in scope with contributions from field leaders the world over<br/><br/>Summary: IPO underpricing<br/>Rating: 4<br/>One of the most impressive things about this book, the first in its series, is the storied gathering of advisory editors, that helped put it together. Robert Merton, William Sharpe, Harry Markowitz, Paul Samuelson. All Nobel Laureates in Economics. And all still active in research. <br/><br/>Given this, they have amassed an interesting and varied collection of papers by others, in this volume. Likely, there is something here of interest to you. <br/><br/>Take the issue of IPO underpricing, which is something of personal interest to me. It refers to the oft-noted phenomenon of the jump in the first day's closing price, compared to the opening price. In the US, this was especially prevalent during the dot com years. But it still happens, and by no means confined to the US. As in last week, in China, with several major IPOs. One chapter discusses the various explanations put forth. Like the presence of irrational investors who bid up the price from the IPO starting value. Certainly, the recent behaviour <u><strong><font color="#ff0000">of</font></strong></u> the Chinese capital markets in Shanghai and Hong Kong give this some plausibility. The chapter surveys IPO performance across several countries. Sadly and ironically, the one major country not looked at is China. Perhaps because as a major occurrence, this is still very new over there. Anyhow, the explanations are worth contemplating. Especially if you are a Chinese regulator!</p><p></p><p><br/></p><p></p><p><font size="5">Handbook of Empirical Corporate Finance, Volume 2: Empirical Corporate Finance (Handbooks in Finance)</font><br/> <br/>by<br/> B.
