Abstract
The paper examines the initial pricing of all Australian government sector initial public offerings (IPOs) that have been made over the last six years. A statistically significant first-day average abnormal return of approximately 8% is found. Contrary to overseas findings, there is no evidence that these government sector IPOs were more underpriced than Australian private sector IPOs.
