本論文主要探討的是債券發行公司之長期績效與發行後內部人士交易行為之關係。我們發現可轉債發行公司的長期績效表現不如其配對公司。此外,對於可轉債發行公司而言,我們發現有純粹內部人士出售的公司表現不如純粹內部人士買入的公司。這個結果符合了我們的推測:高階經理人會蓄意地出售股價高估的股票。然而,對於一般債券發行公司而言,結果卻是相反的情形:有純粹內部人士買入的公司表現不如純粹內部人士出售的公司。
This study investigates the relation between the long-run performance of debt offering firms and the insider trading followed the offering date. We find long-run performance of convertible debt offerings is underperformed compared to their industry-and-size-adjusted matching firms, but performance of straight debt offering is not. We find issuers with pure insider sales perform worse than other insider trading patterns for convertible debt offerings, which supports our conjectures that top executives knowingly sell overvalued equities. But issuers with pure insider purchases perform worse than other insider trading patterns for straight debt offerings.
