Abstract
We analyze the stock price, trading volume and liquidity reaction to corporate disclosure in Germany. Based on a broad sample of corporate announcements made between 1995 and 2007 we find that the announcements result in significant price changes, increased trading volume, and increased bid-ask spreads. Price changes are more pronounced for firms perceived to be more risky. Absolute price change and abnormal volume are strongly correlated.
