摘要
This study examines the significance of short-sales constraints in the presence of a centralized lendable securities market in Japan. We find evidence that a centralized lendable securities market experiences lower short sales constraints. The cost of borrowing stock is found to be lower in Japan's centralized lendable securities market compared with a non-centralized lendable securities market. We also find evidence that recall risk is lower in a centralized lendable securities market. Additionally, there is evidence that stocks are not systematically overvalued in the presence of the centralized lendable securities market. These results are robust when alternative measures of short-sales constraints are considered.
