"Underwriting Services and the New Issues Market is structured to follow the phases of the issuance process, presenting both the activities and decisions that issuers and investment bankers have to execute to facilitate the issuance of securities as well as the theoretical arguments and research findings that shed light on the consequences and the efficacy of the practices applied." --Frank J. Fabozzi, EDHEC Business School and Editor of The Journal of Portfolio Management, from the Foreword

"This text will be a very valuable reference for both students and practitioners interested in this complex and dynamic market. The authors have done an impressive job of succinctly distilling an enormous literature." --Jarl G. Kallberg, Washington State University

"This is an excellent book because it achieves a fine balance between rigor and lucidity. It will serve very well as a textbook for graduate students as well as a reference work for practitioners." --Edmund H. Mantell, Pace University

"Underwriting Services and the New Issues Market is an excellent blend of theory and practice on the global underwriting industry. Concise yet comprehensive, this book thoroughly covers the mechanism, theoretical foundation, and empirical evidence on various aspects of the security issuance procedure." --Keng-Yu Ho, National Taiwan University

Underwriting Services and the New Issues Market integrates practice, theory and evidence from the global underwriting industry to present a comprehensive description and analysis of underwriting practices. After covering the regulation and mechanics of the underwriting process, it considers economic topics such as underwriting costs and compensation, the pricing of new issues, the stock price and operating performance of issuing firms, the evaluation of new issue decisions, and an analysis of the many choices issuers face in structuring new issues.

Unlike other books, it systematically develops a critical perspective about underwriting practices, both in the U.S. and international markets, and with a level of detail unavailable elsewhere and an approach that reveals how financial institutions deliver underwriting services. Underwriting Services and the New Issues Market delivers an innovative and long overdue look at security issuance.
