We examine the initial returns volatility of initial public offering by determining: (1) whether mispricing actually takes place during and after IPOs in Nigeria and Sri Lanka; (2) whether the mispricing (overpricing or underpricing) could constitute corporate fraud tendencies since data to measure fraud in emerging markets of Nigeria and Sri Lanka is secretive and unattainable. We use dummy proxies from 1987-2012 and 1988-2012 for the Nigerian Stock Exchange and the Colombo Stock Exchange, respectively. The OLS and GARCH models show that fraud tendency via underpricing and overpricing is very prominent and highly pronounced in the Nigerian and the Sri Lankan markets as they seriously cause volatile returns during the first-day, monthly and yearly trading of the IPOs probably to satisfy the ego of corporate agents for “money left on the table” and/or “promise for future banking business”.

The generous support for this work is most gratefully acknowledged. The author is also much indebted to his colleagues Professors Bishop, Christenson, Kahr, Raiffa, and (especially) Schlaifer, for extensive discussion and commentary on an earlier draft of this paper; but responsibility for any errors or imperfections remains strictly his own.[Professor Sharpe's paper, “Capital Asset Prices: A Theory of Market Equilibrium Under Conditions of Risk” (Journal of Finance, September 1964) appeared after this paper was in final form and on its way to the printers. My first section, which parallels the first half of his paper (with corresponding conclusions), sets the algebraic framework for sections II, III and VI, (which have no counterpart in his paper) and for section IV on the equilibrium prices of risk assets, concerning which our results differ significantly for reasons which will be explored elsewhere. Sharpe does not take up the capital budgeting problem developed in section V below.] [DOI]
