Public Decision

An initial public offering (IPO) is one of the most important events in the life cycle of a developing firm. The decision to “go public,” however, is complicated by the persistently cyclical market for public offerings. This chapter analyzes the macroeconomic determinants of IPO market cyclicality alongside the strategic and corporate governance considerations faced by private firms, arising from the costs and benefits of going public. The law and economics of the going-public decision also are relevant to the secular decline in IPOs since the turn of the millennium. This chapter evaluates several competing and complementary hypotheses that attempt to explain this phenomenon, each of which relies at least in part on the various features of the going-public decision-making process.

This chapter describes Islamic capital markets. Led by Malaysia and its distinct Islamic Market, Bursa Malaysia-I, Islamic finance has entered the mainstream of international capital markets, primarily in the form of ‘Islamic bonds’ (sukuk) and fund products. Saudi Arabia, with its well-publicized Saudi Aramco initial public offering (IPO) in 2019, raised, less successfully, a different flag in the international markets. Islamic finance has infiltrated conventional markets too. Non-Islamic issuers, sovereigns, corporates and international institutions, have issued sukuk, attracted by the wash of liquidity and investors in the Gulf region. Indeed, Islamic finance has been rubbing shoulders with modern conventional finance for several decades now. As ‘conventional’ finance has become less ‘conventional’, shari'a compliant finance has become more accepted. Impediments to growth persist; the imperviousness to standardization and the artificiality of the structures underlying the financial products increase costs and possibly risk, making the products uncompetitive. However, cost is not the only consideration in the marketplace. With greater interest in ethical and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investing, Islamic finance may be the path or the way to future markets.

The latest financial situation in capital markets in advanced economies, emerging markets, and the Euro zone illustrates that volatility and risks related to global economic activity and global financial markets have impact on local capital markets and directly affects the value of company stocks even though an investor diversified his/her risk by investing in a portfolio. The initial public offering process, performance evaluation methods, and price determination became key factors for companies and investors. In this chapter, advantages and disadvantages of IPO, pricing methods and performance evaluation methods are assessed.

Auditor Specialization

We study the costs and benefits to the issuer of engaging an initial public offering (IPO) auditor specialist. We measure IPO auditor specialization and then find that IPO specialist auditors earn significant fee premiums relative to IPO auditors without specialization and that clients with an IPO specialist auditor exhibit lower levels of underpricing relative to clients without an IPO specialist auditor. We also demonstrate that IPO specialist auditors provide higher quality audits than IPO auditors without IPO audit specialization, finding that their IPO clients have a lower likelihood of financial misstatement and have lower discretionary accruals. Collectively, our results have important implications for the auditing profession and capital markets because we demonstrate empirical evidence of the costs and benefits of engaging IPO specialist auditors.

Using data from 44 countries, we document a new channel through which a family business group’s internal capital market supports its members. We find that groups use internal capital to incubate difficult-to-finance projects, making it feasible for them to rapidly scale up, thus facilitating their initial public offering (IPO) market access. This IPO support role is particularly valuable when groups find capital-raising through seasoned equity offerings less attractive because of control-retention concerns and in capital markets with high new-firm financing barriers. Unlike carve-outs employed as a corporate restructuring strategy, group-affiliated IPOs primarily appear to serve a group’s expansion goals rather than its liquidation needs.

Alternative Activities

A complex set of regulations is intended to guide and control the capital markets and the equity initial public offering (IPO) process, with the goal of creating efficient markets for equity capital and investor protection. Often in response to market innovations, regulators impose new, and reinterpret existing, regulations. This chapter documents key US securities regulations over the past two decades that have affected the IPO process. While motivated by good intentions, many of these regulations have led to burdens on issuing firms and have had deleterious effects on US capital markets. The authors posit that these effects are driven by the burdens placed on firms, the incentives of firms to pursue alternatives to an IPO, the disincentives for banks to conduct IPOs, and the attractiveness of more profitable (and less regulated) alternative activities available to banks. This suggests questions for IPO researchers concerning the effects of such regulations.

Auditor Reputation

Abstract his study examine the role of auditors and firm’s reputation in lowering firm’s cost of debt before and after Initial Public Offering. Firms gradually build reputation and history in the capital markets and thus information of older firms are widely available and increasing with age. Firms with highly regarded reputation are predicted to pay lower interest rate relative to those with lower reputation. To test the hypothesis, as much as 161 sampel firms are collected from Indonesia Stock Exhange over period 2003-2012. Results show, contrary to the prediction, that auditor reputation has no association with cost of debt. However, negative association between auditor reputation and cost of debt was found for firms with short private history. In additon, the results also provide no evident of the interaction between auditor reputation and age. Taking as a whole, the findings in this study shows that the role of auditors in reducing cost of debt were effective only before firms went public. Abstrak Studi ini menguji peran auditor dan reputasi perusahaan dalam menurunkan biaya hutang perusahaan sebelum dan sesudah go public. Perusahaan membangun reputasi dan sejarah di pasar modal secara bertahap sehingga informasi mengenai perusahaan yang telah lama beroperasi tersedia secara luas. Penelitian ini berargumen bahwa perusahaan dengan reputasi yang baik membayar suku bunga yang lebih rendah dibandingkan. Untuk menguji hipotesis, sebanyak 161 sampel perusahaan dikumpulkan dari Bursa Efek Indonesia selama periode 2003-2012. Hasil analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa reputasi auditor tidak berpengaruh pada biaya hutang. Selain itu, hasilnya juga tidak memberikan bukti interaksi antara reputasi dan usia auditor. Namun, hubungan negatif antara reputasi auditor dan biaya hutang ditemukan untuk perusahaan dengan sejarah pribadi yang pendek. Secara keseluruhan, temuan dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa peran auditor dalam mengurangi biaya hutang hanya efektif sebelum perusahaan go public.
