Underwriter Reputation, Initial Returns, and the Long‐Run Performance of IPO Stocks
研究发现，由声誉更高的承销商承销的IPO股票，在三年持有期内相对于市场的表现不佳程度较轻，且短期抑价也较小。Carter–Manaster指标是解释初始回报和三年表现的最显著指标。
We find that the underperformance of IPO stocks relative to the market over a three‐year holding period is less severe for IPOs handled by more prestigious underwriters. Consistent with prior studies, we also find that IPOs managed by more reputable underwriters are associated with less short‐run underpricing. Among the various existing proxies for underwriter reputation, the Carter–Manaster measure is the most significant in the context of initial returns and also in the context of the three‐year performance of IPOs. The study also provides an updated list of the Carter–Manaster measure for various underwriters.
