2. In short, the approach used in this work is a calendar-time approach where monthly expected portfolio returns are described by an asset pricing model. 1 What return is normal? Prior literature concentrated on IPO underperformance only, but the arguments in this section also apply to abnormal return measurement in general, positive or negative. The literature on abnormal IPO performance started with Ritter (1991) who found a significant underperformance relative to the benchmark. The result directly contradicts short-run studies that provide evidence that IPO stocks outperform on the day of their initial listing.

On the other hand, the restriction of simply using each matching firm only once limits the ability of the technique to mimic the essential risk characteristics of event firms. This is of particular relevance in an IPO setting where small and low-BM firms dominate the sample. Matches would likely be biased towards bigger and higher BM firms, as generally no lower categories exist. Eckbo, Masulis, and Norli (2000) argue that apparent issuer underperformance is just a reflection of a lower systematic risk exposure relative to the matching firms.

Whereas Dechow and Dichev (2002) use a rolling time window of seven years, a cross-sectional form of this regression on the industry level is employed here for the following reason. To the extent that all firms in a given industry face the same business environment and therefore have similar capabilities to estimate current accruals, the regression would not show any error term for a given firm. If a positive (negative) error occurs, the firm’s accruals are too high (low) to be explained by the cash flows from operations, after normalizing for industry effects.
