Note(s): This table estimates the effect of long-term institutional shareholdings (LT (%)) on the stock market response (CARs) to target price revisions (TP∆/P), using the merger of two financial institutions (Column (1)) and the membership changes in the S&P 500 index (Column (2)) as part of our quasi-natural experiments. All the variables are defined in table A1 in Appendix. The t-statistics are reported in parentheses. Standard errors are clustered at the firm level. *, ** and *** denote statistical significance for the coefficients at 10%, 5% and 1% respectively
