Contrary to findings in developed markets, we document several novel results in China＇s stock market： （1） institutional holding negatively affects assets＇ liquidity, （2） earnings quality is negatively related with liquidity. Since earnings quality captures asymmetric information, low earnings quality induces high divergence in investor opinions and thus boosts market trading, and （3） interestingly, the effect of earnings quality on liquidity is greater if institutional investors＇ holding is at a high level. Overall, our findings cast doubt on the conventional wisdom that institutional investors and earnings quality improve market liquidity. The results are robust to different measures and alternative model specifications.展开更多

The NTB Market is the main part of China＇s OTC market, established in 2006. In comparing with China＇s Main Board Market and the Second Board Market, it attracts a lot of start-up companies that need financing with less strict listing requirements. Meanwhile, it is full of opportunities and challenges that appeal to numerous securities traders and investors with the rapid development momentum. Since its establishment, the NTB Market has been stuck in the lack of liquidity. The authority of the NTB Market introduced market maker system, so as to solve the problem of liquidity. Using the difference-in-difference method（DID method）, the market maker system has been proved to make little contribution to improving the stock liquidity. Although the problem of liquidity is difficult to solve in short term, the NTB Market is full of opportunities for all kinds of participants definitely.展开更多
