Abstract
Cohen et al. (2007), find that shifts in the demand curve for shorting predict negative stock returns.

We show that shifts in the demand for borrowing Treasuries and agencies predict quantitative easing (QE). A reduction in the quantity demanded at all points along the demand curve predicts expansionary QE announcements.
