Abstract:
Based on the data of A&H cross-listing firms, this paper compared the efficiency of opening period to reveal overnight information for A shares and H shares using the method of weighted prices contribution. It was found that for both A and H shares, the bigger the company was, the more efficient the opening period was in information revelation. Moreover, opening period was more information efficient for H shares than A shares due to the difference between two markets in market maturity, opening degree, market structure and trading mechanism.
