We tested binary probit regression (Quadratic hill climbing) and QML (Huber/White) standard errors and covariance. Evidence was encountered a mixed impact from the New firm’s on the Ex-ante uncertainty, that is subscription rate, issue size, market capitalization and non institutional non promoters have a significant association with a degree of underpricing of New firms.
