Should a Short Sale Against the Box Be a Realization Event?

Author

Listed:
  • Weisbach, David A.

Abstract

Criticizes the need to treat short sales against the box as realization events. Argues that the net welfare gain of such treatment is uncertain (under traditional Haig-Simons notions of equity) and that efficiency gains are dependent on views of stock trading.
