摘要
Many firms in the U.S. reduce their size by paying stockholders extra cash dividends, or what is more common, by repurchasing stock. Empirical evidence shows that the market's reaction to a stock repurchase is positive. In this paper we show that the positive market reaction to a stock repurchase stems from a sample selection bias. Under rational expectation and no selection bias, zero market reaction is anticipated.
