Note(s): This table reports the time-series average of the cross-sectional mean of the changes in the size-adjusted institutional ownership in value and glamour stocks in each quarter before and during institutional trading window. The quarters Q1- Q4 are institutional trading window, which are at least four months after the fiscal year-end. Q0 is one quarter before the trading window, which can be the quarter that financial statement information is released. Q−1 is two quarter prior to the trading window and the quarter of fiscal year-end (or after the fiscal year-end). The changes in size-adjusted institutional ownership by total institutions, independent institutions and passive institutions are presented. Panels A and B give institutional trading on expectation error in value/glamour stocks (low FSCORE glamour stocks and high FSCORE value stocks). Panels C and D show the results of value/glamour stocks without mispricing (high FSCORE glamour stocks and low FSCORE value stocks). The sample period is from 1982 to 2015Q4. t-statistics are reported in parentheses calculated with Newey and West (1987) robust standard errors
