Jain, Ankit., Tantri, Prasanna., Thirumalai, Ramabhadran S. (Forthcoming) "Demand Curves For
Stocks Do Not Slope Downwards: Evidence Using an Exogenous Supply Shock", Journal of Banking
and FinanceCentre for Analytical FinanceClose >We analyze the price impact of an exogenous share
sale by inside blockholders, who were forced to sell a part of their shareholdings due to a regulatory
change in India. The affected firms experience a negative excess return of 4.5% during the issue
week. Crucially, the price impact reverses in about 55 to 75 days after the event. Our results are
consistent with the view that the long term demand curves for stocks are at: a view echoed by
classical finance theories. The short term price reaction to a sale is likely to be a result of temporary
price pressure.
