Asset Pricing in A Segmented Emerging Market

Author

Abstract

This paper investigates the effect of market segmentation on stock prices and returns in emerging Chinese markets. Under the assumption of infinite investment horizon and representative consumer, I formulate an Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model (ICAPM) with restrictions on share ownership. The model posits that cross-section variations in the average excess returns between domestic A -and foreign B- shares depend on systematic risks as measured by shares' own market betas and betas with respect to the international equity markets. After correcting for errors-in-variable problem, I obtain econometric results consistent with the empirical predictions of ICAPM.
