The Effects of the Brazilian ADRs Program on Domestic Market EfficiencyBenjamin M. TabakCatholic University of Brazil (UCB); Government of the Federative Republic of Brazil - Central Bank of Brazil Eduardo J. A. LimaGovernment of the Federative Republic of Brazil - Central Bank of Brazil June 2002 Banco de Espana Research Paper No. WP-43 Abstract: This paper examines the impact on Brazilian stocks following American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) listing in the U.S. stock markets. Evidence suggests that a systematic change has taken place in the post-listing period as the multivariate variance ratio statistics have significantly decreased if compared to the pre-listing period, which indicates a move toward a more efficient domestic stock market. This empirical evidence is robust to the use of dollar and local currency-denominated returns. These results add to the literature that finds evidence on changes in domestic volatility and abnormal returns around listing dates.
