This paper examines the reactions of investors in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) to 11,650 REIT dividend announcements that occurred between January 1, 1970 and March 31, 2007. Depending on the situation, there is evidence consistent with the overreaction hypothesis, the uncertain information hypothesis, overoptimism, and with market efficiency. The market reaction to a given dividend announcement by a REIT depends not only on the direction of change in the dividend, but also on the prevailing monetary environment in which the announcement is made, and on whether the announcement is seen as good news, or whether the market views the announcement as concomitant with bad news.

In spring 2000, three events-two political statements by Bill Clinton and Tony Blair and a breakthrough announcement by Celera Genomics-had a major impact on biotechnology stocks. We analyze their effects over a comprehensive set of biopharmaceutical companies, using a composite return-generating model with an industry-specific patent-based factor. Our results show that stocks can be clustered according to their responsiveness to political and scientific events. Furthermore, we emphasize different impacts on the market value of intangible assets for each cluster, suggesting that growth options are valued with different criteria for therapeutics, and technology-based subsectors.
