This book was released on 2013 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By limiting their attention to the effect of capital gains tax on the price asked by mid-cycle sellers, Elton and Gruber (Review of Economics and Statistics v.52, 1970) overlook a parallel effect of capital loss credit on the bid price offered by mid-cycle buyers. We show that unequal marginal tax rates on capital gains and losses create two distinct price paths with a growing bid-ask spread between them. The dividend cycle ends with a corresponding drop of the dual price to a temporary common ex-dividend price. As perceived by shareholders, the mid-cycle bid-ask spread created in this fashion may add a significant trading cost beyond the observed market-price spread. Our analysis has important implications for shareholders' optimal timing of trade, the firm's optimal frequency and timing of dividends within the year, and government tax policy. A government seeking to tax capital gains should maintain parity between the tax rates of gains and losses to avoid the introduction of tax-induced trading costs. Absent rate parity, the firm should accommodate shareholders by following a predictable dividend schedule and avoiding extended intervals between dividends. Under this scenario, shareholders can avoid tax-induce trading costs by limiting their transactions to ex-dividend days.

Book Synopsis Taxation and the Ex-dividend Day Behavior of Common Stock Prices by : Jerry Green
Download or read book Taxation and the Ex-dividend Day Behavior of Common Stock Prices written by Jerry Green and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The behavior of stock prices around ex-dividend days has been suggested as evidence for tax-induced clientele effects and as a means to estimate the average effective tax rate faced by investors. In this paper these possibilities are examined theoretically and empirically. Theoretically it is shown that the measured price drop per dollar of dividend may provide a biased estimate of the effective tax rate. Looking at the volume of trade around ex-dividend days we show that the conditions under which it would be unbiased are unlikely to hold. Strong evidence, based on a broader database than that used by previous investigators, is presented for the presence of the clientele effect
Book Synopsis Insights Into the Ex-Dividend Behavior of Stock Prices by : C Justin Robinson
Download or read book Insights Into the Ex-Dividend Behavior of Stock Prices written by C Justin Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper adds to the literature on the behavior of stock prices around the ex-dividend date by providing evidence on the behavior of stock returns and trading volumes around the ex-dividend date in the unique environment of the Jamaica Stock Exchange. The Jamaica Stock Exchange is characterized by two major changes to the dividend tax rate in recent years and the absence of any capital gains tax, short selling or market makers. Using the event-study methodology, the paper finds that changes in the dividend tax rate produces major changes in the price drop ratio and abnormal returns in one instance but not in the other, while trading volumes increase around the ex-dividend date regardless of the tax regime. These results suggest that while tax differentials between capital gains and dividends can play a major role in the ex-dividend behavior of stock prices, it may not provide a complete explanation of such.

Book Synopsis Marginal Stockholder Tax Effects and Ex-Dividend Day Behavior - Thirty-Two Years Later by : Edwin J. Elton
Download or read book Marginal Stockholder Tax Effects and Ex-Dividend Day Behavior - Thirty-Two Years Later written by Edwin J. Elton and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Elton and Gruber's (Eamp;G) original article on taxes and ex-dividend price behavior was published in 1970, over 100 articles have appeared in the leading journals of financial economics examining whether prices fall by less than the dividends and, if so, whether or not the phenomenon is due to tax effects, market microstructure effects, or some other effect. The microstructure argument is the most serious alternative to the tax argument. All of the microstructure arguments state that the fall in stock price should be less than the dividend, regardless of whether the dividend is taxable or tax-advantaged. By testing ex-dividend effects on a sample of closed-end funds where dividends are taxadvantaged, we find that taxes should and do cause the fund price to fall by more than the amount of the dividend. This is consistent with a tax argument and inconsistent with a microstructure argument. Examining the sample of tax-free dividends, we find that the Eamp;G and return measures change across two tax regimes exactly as theory suggests they should if taxes mattered. We then examine non-tax-advantaged closed-end funds. For these funds we should find the traditional ex-dividend tax effects: the fall in price on the ex-dividend date should be less than the dividend during periods when capital gains taxes are less than income taxes. This is what we find. Furthermore, the ex-dividend behavior of these funds generally moves in the direction we would expect across two changes in tax regimes. The taxable sample not only substantiates the tax effect, it also demonstrates that the fall in price greater than the dividend for closed-end municipal bond funds was not due to some peculiar aspect of either our methodology or the closed-end fund industry. Thirty-two years after Eamp;G's original study, we find new and compelling evidence that taxes play an important part in affecting share price changes.
Book Synopsis The Taxation of Equity, Dividends, and Stock Prices by : Richard W. Kopcke
Download or read book The Taxation of Equity, Dividends, and Stock Prices written by Richard W. Kopcke and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 (JGTRRA) essentially halved the tax rate on dividends and reduced the top tax rate on capital gains. This paper explores the likely effect of JGTRRA on the composition of returns on corporations' common stock. Both larger corporations' past behavior and theory suggest that the recent tax cuts are not likely to increase dividend payouts significantly. Instead, in the short run, dividends will continue to rise in the customary way in response to the recovery in earnings. In the longer run, the tax cuts will principally reduce companies' cost of capital, fostering capital deepening, when the economy is at full employment. With constant returns to scale prevailing at full employment, capital deepening reduces corporations' average gross return on assets and equity. Because the tax cuts increase the value of each dollar of earnings for shareholders, they could raise price-earnings ratios by more than 10 percent and stock prices by more than 6 percent. By fostering capital deepening, the tax cuts also tend to increase the real compensation of labor at full employment.
Book Synopsis Market Valuation of Tax-Timing Options by : J.B. Chay
Download or read book Market Valuation of Tax-Timing Options written by J.B. Chay and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine a type of distribution that is taxed as a capital gain rather than as a dividend. Since the distribution induces a realized capital gain while the price change on the ex-distribution day is an unrealized gain, ex-day return behavior provides evidence of the value of tax-timing capital gains. We show that investors are compensated 7 cents in unrealized gains for each dollar of realized capital gains, i.e., $1 of realized capital gains is equivalent to 93 cents of unrealized gains. This implies that an investor with a tax rate on realized gains of 15% has an effective tax rate on unrealized capital gains of 8.6%.
Download or read book Ticks and Tax written by C. Bryan Cloyd and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine ex-dividend day stock price behavior before and after the NYSE converted from discrete (1/16ths) to decimal pricing systems in early 2001, as well as the effect of equalizing the federal income tax rates on dividend and long-term capital gain income in May 2003. Prior literature reports a robust empirical result that share prices decrease on the ex-dividend day by less than the amount of the dividend, but there is little agreement about whether this incomplete price adjustment is caused by share price discreteness, differential taxation of dividend income relative to capital gains, or other factors. Two recent studies, Graham, Michaely and Roberts (2003) and Jakob and Ma (2004), report that declining price discreteness (e.g. from 1/16ths to decimal pricing) had no material effect on the cum- to ex-day price-drop-to-dividend ratio. Although we report similar findings for the price-drop ratio, we find that ex-day abnormal returns declined significantly as a result of decimalization in 2001, and declined further in response to tax rate equalization in May 2003. Thus, our findings support the view that both price discreteness and differential taxation affect ex-dividend day stock price behavior.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides new evidence that tax clienteles exist and that they influence ex-dividend stock price behavior. We test the tax model of ex-day pricing over a continuous sample period spanning all U.S. tax law changes since 1926. Our results indicate that actual ex-dividend price drop ratios (amp;ΔP/D) and market model adjusted returns are related to dividend and capital gains tax rates in the theorized manner. Consistent with the Elton and Gruber (1970) framework, corporate tax were more influential prior to 1962, when dividends were larger, while personal rates are more influential after 1962. We also find that the ex-day price movements of the highest dividend yield stocks within each quarter are driven more by corporate tax rates, while the lowest yield stocks are more influenced by personal rates. Finally, we confirm that amp;ΔP/D is positively related to the dividend yield and show that the strength of this relationship increases as the tax differential widens.
