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