International cross-listings on CEE-stock exchanges

Abstract: Improved integration of stock markets has led to a surge in cross-border listings. While academic research has, in the past, concentrated on foreign listings with the host market being located in the USA or Western Europe, this study looks at foreign companies quoting shares on Central and Eastern European exchanges. More precisely, we concentrate on the effects of cross-listing of a foreign company on a CEE Stock Exchange. Our results indicate that the respective home markets react slightly negatively to such a cross-listing with trading volumes increasing considerably and prices tumbling. By contrast, interest in the newly listed stock is strong on the new markets on the first day of trading only; thereafter turnover drops sharply and recovers slowly. Consequently, this study cannot support the assumption of perfect market integration, but rather highlights the existence of a segmented international stock exchange market.
