PhD thesis, Perpustakaan Hamzah Sendut.
Abstract
Prior studies on the relationship between Initial Public Offering (IPO) returns and
liquidity are mostly for the developed markets. The disperse ownership in the
corporations and more well informed investors support their findings. On the other
hand, the nature and behaviour of emerging stock markets such as Malaysia differ
from the developed markets. The concentrated ownership partly due to government
ownership, the behaviour of market participants and market policies could provide
different views on the relation between liquidity and return. Given the difference in
the environment, it is the objective of this study to reduce the existing gap by
examining this relationship from the emerging market perspective. Using 299
samples of stocks listed on Bursa Malaysia from 1998 to 2008, the nature of
relationship between (PO returns and liquidity is examined. Additionally, the effects
of firm's ownership structure, government ownership and the divergence in
investor's opinion on the return and liquidity relationship are examined.
