This paper empirically investigates the relationship between equity price change and volume in order to determine the extent to which option trading affects the absolute price?volume relationship. The analysis is based on Zellner's 'Seemingly Unrelated Regression, (SUR) method shows that, on average, the trading volume of option eligible equity issues is less sensitive to price changes than the volume of equity issues without options. This result supports the hypothesis (Ross, 1976) that investors may be more inclined to turn to the option market rather than acting directly on the securities in order to carry out their different investment strategies on the stock market. A direct implication of this finding suggests that investment strategies that use both volume and price change to make inferences for investment decisions have to integrate, at least when dealing with an option eligible equity, both stock and option markets into their analysis.

AbstractThis paper studies the effect of option trading on corporate investment and financing policies. Based on prior literature, I hypothesize that option market induces informed trading and thus reduces information asymmetry and the cost of capital. As a result, firms with high option trading have more investment and financing. Specifically, based on the United States public data, this paper finds that option trading volume increases corporate investment and financing, but reduces cash holdings and corporate payouts. These results are robust to the inclusion of industry or firm fixed effect, a control for endogenous options trading, and the use of alternative measures of option trading and corporate policies. The effect of option trading is stronger for firms with higher information asymmetry problems. Finally, this paper finds the results are inconsistent with the “quiet Life” hypothesis and the catering hypothesis.
