A difference-in-differences analysis shows that relative to non-pilot stocks, pilot stocks saw a significantly larger increase in return synchronicity when the pilot program started, but such difference disappeared when Regulation SHO removed short-selling price tests for all stocks. The results suggest that high return synchronicity reflects high, rather than low, price informativeness.</span></p> |
