Abstract | There is inconclusive evidence regarding the economic value of certification in the context of IPOs in developed markets. Using a natural experiment of regulator mandated IPO grading requirement, we examine the effects of third-party certification in the Indian IPO market. We summarize our empirical results below. First, underpricing is unaffected by the grading process. Second, stock price informativeness as proxied by idiosyncratic volatility increases significantly due to IPO grading process. Third, retail and institutional subscription levels are significantly positively associated with IPO grades after controlling for other certification mechanisms such as underwriter reputation, group affiliation, analyst recommendation and venture capital backing. Finally, using a pseudo grading process we conclude that IPO grades are not mechanically derivable from publicly available information. In a nutshell, we use our unique setting to examine the usefulness of certification in emerging markets with institutional voids. |
