Abstract:
This paper is an empirical study of the common stock price reaction on the ex-rights day of seasoned equity issues. Using an event study methodology we investigate 34 seasoned equity offerings by listed firms in the Athens Stock Exchange (Greece) during the period 1981-1990 and observe that on the ex-rights day there are no abnormal returns concluding that the Greek Stock Market is efficient in the semi-strong form.
