“…The results were carefully separated into those for U.S. firms listing in London, Tokyo, Toronto and other major overseas exchanges and those for non-U.S. firms listing on U.S exchanges. Studies in the former category by Lee (1991), Torabzadeh et al (1992), Varela and Lee (1993a, b), and Lau et al (1994) all found either slightly positive or neutral market reactions in the listing month. The latter category included Switzer's original (1986) study of Canadian firms only, Alexander, Eun and Janakiramanan (1988), Foerster and Karolyi (1993), Jayaraman et al (1993), Viswanathan (1996), and Ko et al (1997).…”
