LIVE: Should There Be a Ban on Short-Selling During a Crisis?

During crisis periods, such as the global pandemic, many countries impose a ban on short-selling. Critics of this practice argue that we should not “kill the messenger” that brings valuable information to the market, whereas supporters say it is necessary because short-sellers create panic and hurt otherwise healthy firms. Accounting Professor Xu Jiang will discuss recent research that analyzes both viewpoints and explain the findings of his study.
