about the lecture:
this lecture examines how risk-related information gathered from the period between the ipo filing date and the offering date affect the ipo pricing in the chinese stock market. we propose a new approach by examining the textual difference of ipo prospectuses from filing to offering date and gauge the risk-related feedback information from regulators and institutional investors during the information gathering process. this approach is effective in measuring litigation risks and reflecting the attitudes of regulators and institutional investors. further, the reactions of issuers and investors to risk feedback are quite different. issuers will revise the offering prices according to the risk feedback, specifically over-react to negative feedback and under-react to positive feedback, consistent with the partial adjustment theory. however, investors pay their attention on whether risk information is fully disclosed in the pre-issue period or not, and they need more compensation for risk-taking ipo investments. all the evidences prove that the restrict disclosure requirements during the information gathering process are crucial for the second market performance.
