Zusammenfassung: | Using short selling data collected by FINRA, we investigate spillover effects of the GME short squeeze at the beginning of 2021 on other stocks’ short interest. Using a broad sample of stocks, we found substantial spillover effects leading to an overall reduction in short interest across US stocks. Stocks with a high pre-event short interest experienced a significant reduction in the short interest, whereas those stocks with a low pre-event short interest experienced a slight increase in the short interest. By decomposing the change in the short interest into a quantity and price effect, we clearly show that the reduction in short interest overcompensates the price effect. Our observations suggest a fundamental shift in the hedge fund’s shorting policies towards less concentrated shorting but also suggest less efficient price discovery. |
