STATE SUBSTANTIVE SECURITIES REGULATION: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF EFFICIENCY AT THREE LEVELS OF STRINGENCY (INVESTMENT, RETURNS, RISK).

Theoreticians and practitioners consider regulation of the capital marketplace to be an important area of concern due to the potential effects of such regulation on capital resource allocation, investment decision-making, and market efficiency. It is hypothesized that if the level of issue quality required by a state prior to public sale supplies investor benefits, such benefits should take the form of excess returns and/or less variation in return in relation to issues complying with lower standards of quality. The study utilizes an Analysis of Variance and, an analysis of average and cumulative average residuals. Both investigations provide findings that merit regulation is beneficial to new investors increased market efficiency.
