內容簡介：
The extent to which derivatives markets affect the prices of their underlying stocks has long been of interest. Issuers of structured equity products (SEPs) based on common stocks hedge their liabilities by trading in the underlying common stocks. In the sample used in this paper, these trades raise the prices of the underlying stocks by an average of almost 100 basis points on the pricing dates of the SEPs. This is direct evidence that derivatives hedging has important impacts on the prices of even very large and liquid stocks. The price impact is mostly, but not fully, reversed on the subsequent trading day. In addition, these results provide new estimates of the price impact of trading volume for large-capitalization U.S. common stocks.
