Unlike Dutch auction repurchases and tender offers, open-market repurchase programs
do not precommit firms to acquire a specified number of shares. In a sample of 450
programs from 1981 to 1990, firms on average acquire 74 to 82 percent of the shares
announced as repurchase targets within three years of the repurchase announcement.
We find that share repurchases are negatively related to prior stock price performance,
suggesting that firms increase their purchasing depending on its degree of perceived
undervaluation. In addition, repurchases are positively related to levels of cash
flow, which is consistent with liquidity arguments.

Empirical evidence suggests that banking panics are related to the business cycle
and are not simply the result of “sunspots.” Panics occur when depositors
perceive that the returns on bank assets are going to be unusually low. We develop
a simple model of this. In this setting, bank runs can be first-best efficient: they
allow efficient risk sharing between early and late withdrawing depositors and they
allow banks to hold efficient portfolios. However, if costly runs or markets for
risky assets are introduced, central bank intervention of the right kind can lead
to a Pareto improvement in welfare.
