This master's thesis aims to investigate the impact of short sale bans on the market microstructure of European equity markets. The study focuses on the effects of these bans on stock liquidity, price efficiency, and stock prices. The research utilizes data from the Covid-19 crisis in 2020, when several European countries implemented short sale bans as a response to highly volatile financial markets.
The introduction provides an overview of the research topic and outlines the objectives and scope of the study. Chapter 2 examines the concept of short selling, its evolution, and the implementation of short sale bans in Europe in 2020. Chapter 3 reviews relevant literature on the impact of short sale bans on market microstructure. Chapter 4 delves into the analysis of stock liquidity, exploring variables, data, methodology, empirical results, robustness checks, and country-by-country analysis. Chapter 5 focuses on price efficiency and its relationship with short sale bans. Chapter 6 investigates the impact of short sale bans on stock prices.
The key terms and concepts explored in this research include short sale bans, market microstructure, stock liquidity, price efficiency, stock prices, European equity markets, Covid-19 crisis, empirical analysis, and matching algorithms.
The thesis investigates how temporary short sale bans affected the market microstructure—specifically liquidity, price efficiency, and stock prices—of European equity markets during the 2020 Covid-19 crisis.
Regulators use short sale bans to stabilize capital markets, prevent excessive price declines, and restore investor confidence during periods of high volatility.
Major indices like the EURO STOXX 50 experienced record-breaking single-day losses exceeding 12%, accompanied by extreme volatility reflected in the VSTOXX index peaking at 86%.
The study focuses on stock liquidity (bid-ask spreads, depth), price efficiency (how fast information is reflected in prices), and overall stock price stability.
Yes, the thesis includes a country-by-country analysis to see if the impact of the short sale bans varied across different European jurisdictions.
The thesis examines the "Effects of the Ban Lift" to determine if liquidity and efficiency return to normal levels or if there are lasting consequences on market structure.
