Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) have been of theoretical and empirical interest to financial economists for many decades. Much of this attention can be attributed to a persistent and global financial phenomenon in the new-issues market - IPO underpricing. The work examines the role of incentive-based underwriter compensation (in form of discretionary fees) in mitigating IPO underpricing.
