Abstract

This paper examines the effect of the Ibex35 index revisions on the price andtrading activity of a sample of 26 additions and 22 deletions during the period January 1991-December 1998. The results shows that Ibex35 revisions raise (reduce) the price of the additions (deletions) especially in the day after the announcement and in the date before the effective change. The positive (negative) generated abnormal returns are neither related with information about future perspectives of the affected firms nor with changes in liquidity variables. After the effective date, the prices experiment a partial (complete) reversion to its initial level in the additions (deletions). Overall, the evidence obtained supports the price pressure hypothesis as an explanation of the effect in the Ibex35 revisions. Este trabajo analiza el efecto de las redefiniciones del índice Ibex35 en los precios y la actividad de negociación de las acciones incluidas y excluidas. La muestra utilizada está formada por 26 entradas y 22 salidas estables en el periodo enero 1991-diciembre 1998. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que las revisiones del Ibex35 provocan una importante reacción positiva (negativa) en el precio de las acciones que entran (salen), fundamentalmente en el día siguiente al anuncio de la medida y en la fecha anterior a la recomposición efectiva del indicador. Las rentabilidades anormales positivas (negativas) generadas no están relacionadas con información acerca de las perspectivas futuras de las empresas afectadas ni con medidas de cambio de liquidez. Con posterioridad al cambio efectivo los precios experimentan un proceso de reversión parcial (completo) a sus niveles previos en las entradas (salidas). En conjunto, la evidencia obtenida apoya la hipótesis de presión sobre los precios como explicación de los efectos provocados por las revisiones en la composición del Ibex35.
