Abstract
This paper provides a comprehensive review of extant studies on the microstructure of the stock market in Mainland China. We examine the price formation, trading protocols, and regulatory framework of this market and how these underpinnings affect the pricing, price patterns, and trading volume of stocks. Overall, the Chinese stock market is shaped not only by investors but also by frequent regulatory interventions and external shocks. We also describe available datasets and how the lack of granularity of data constrains high-frequency trading and studies thereon. To facilitate research in the future, we also suggest some topics for further research.
