Abstract
⺠Stocks with the most stringent short sales constraints exhibit significant abnormal returns. ⺠Allowing naked short sales increases price volatility and reduces liquidity. ⺠Increases in the bid-ask spread are driven by higher adverse selection costs. ⺠The demand for securities lending is reduced once naked short selling is allowed.
