Popis: This study examines differences in the extent of predictability in the pricing of the two main classes of equity traded in China, namely: A shares (available to Chinese investors) and B shares (traditionally available only to non‐Chinese investors). The study extends previous work by conducting a wider range of analyses and extending the sample period until the relaxation of rules preventing domestic investors from purchasing B shares. The results suggest that earlier evidence of greater predictability in the pricing of B shares is not entirely robust to changes in the method of analysis, and may only partially explain why Chinese authorities have recently decided to widen participation in the B market.
