Although exogenous supply shocks are central to identifying demand curves in other areas of economics, the asset pricing literature has relied on demand-side instruments. We fill this gap by exploiting an exogenous and uninformed supply shock: the 2016 Tick Size Pilot. While treatment and control firms announced similar levels of repurchases, treatment firms repurchased 20% fewer shares due to unforeseen conflicts between the pilot and repurchase regulations. The random assignment of treatment allows us to control for price spillover effects under a difference-in-differences framework. We estimate a relative price multiplier of 2.01 and show that households and investment advisors (e.g. hedge funds) absorb most of the supply shocks.

Advancing Deep Learning for Graph Anomaly Detection: From Transductive Learning to Universal Generalist Models
School of Computing and Information Systems
Graph-structured data are pervasive in modern applications, including financial transaction networks, e-commerce user–item graphs, communication networks, cybersecurity logs, and social platforms. Graph anomaly detection (GAD) aims to identify irregular nodes that deviate from normal structural or feature patterns, which are widely used in fraud detection in finance, review spam detection, and abusive user detection. Despite significant advances in deep learning–based GAD, current methods predominantly face several challenges (1) Overlooking the anomaly–discriminative property "one-class homophily" and the lack of a reliable anomaly scoring approach. (2) Ignoring the fact that normal samples overwhelmingly dominate the data, making the labels for normal samples is much easier to obtain. (3) Limited generalization ability across different graphs, which restricts their effectiveness in real-world cross-graph applications. To address these challenges, this dissertation proposed (1) a novel unsupervised anomal…

Area Administration
Modern financial markets generate enormous quantities of data. As the data environment has become increasingly “big” and analyses more computerized, the information extracted and utilized by market participants has grown far more varied and diverse. At one extreme, high-frequency traders (HFTs) rely on ultra-minimalist algorithms optimized purely for speed. On the other hand, industry practitioners employ sophisticated machine-learning models that may require minutes, hours, or even days to train and evaluate.
This public lecture will explore how the three defining dimensions of big data—large size, high dimensionality, and complex structure—have transformed modern finance. We will examine how these characteristics have enabled new empirical findings and inspired new theories. The lecture will also reflect major developments from recent years and highlight promising directions for future research in big data and finance.
We will also discuss emerging research areas that may benefit from deeper collaboration a…

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia
Corporate governance in Singapore and across Asia is evolving. Independent directors remain central to board design, yet boards are increasingly expected to add directors with targeted expertise – for example in ESG, cybersecurity, climate, or diversity. This seminar examines how these trends intersect and what they mean for board effectiveness, disclosure, oversight duties, and litigation risk.
Professor Dan W. Puchniak (Singapore Management University) is a leading authority on the law concerning independent directors in Singapore and across Asia, and his book Independent Directors in Asia is widely regarded as the leading comparative study in the field. He will provide an update on the law and the most salient issues for independent directors in Singapore, situating local practice within Asia’s diverse governance landscape and drawing on his comparative scholarship.

The lecture will be on the subject of two recent advisory opinions delivered by ITLOS and the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the international obligations of states regarding climate change.
One of the most distinguished features of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea is its compulsory dispute settlement mechanism. It provides, inter alia, for the choice of four different means or forums, three of which have been used so far, namely ITLOS, the ICJ and Annex VII arbitration. Obviously, the existence of multiple judicial bodies entails the risk of inconsistent jurisprudence, or judicial fragmentation, but the system has also the potential to be complementary.

STARI Lunchtime Seminar - What Does ‘Source’ Really Mean? Re-Examining Source Rules in Double Tax Conventions
Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia
Most jurisdictions tax nonresidents only on their domestically sourced income. However, determining where income is sourced has been a longstanding headache for tax students, academics, policymakers, and industry stakeholders — though lawyers may view it as a bonanza. As Professor Avi-Yonah observed, source rules “are a wonderful thing for lawyers and something that causes economists to despair,” not least because “most tax economists today believe that income does not have a single source that can be pinpointed” (Avi-Yonah, 2007). Professor Arnold similarly notes that “the concept of source is poorly developed in domestic tax legislation and tax treaties” (Arnold, 2023).
Does “source” refer to the place where value is created, where goods or services are consumed, or where the outbound payment is made? A relatively common perception is that active income is sourced in the country where contributions to income generation occur, whereas passive income is sourced in the payor’s country. However, with the rapid…
