文摘The effect of strict segmentation on pricing in the context of the Chinese stock markets was investigated. As an effective complementary to domestic A share market, H share market has played an important role in attracting foreign capital flows into mainland and as an open window for foreign investors to know Chinese enterprises. However, H share has received little attention by researchers. Considered that H share market enjoys relatively more free information and has a greater and faster access to global news sources, The discount between H share and A share is mainly studied in this paper. By constructing the model and based on proposed hypotheses, the empirical test confirms information asymmetry between foreign investors and domestic investors, liquidity effects, diversification effects are significant factors in explaining discounts on H share from the cross-section data.
