Abstract
We explore the connections between the U.S. market and overnight anomalies in China's A-share market to test whether overnight information influences overnight anomalies. By univariate and bivariate portfolio analysis, panel regression and Fama-Macbeth regression, we find that overnight anomalies in China's A-share market can persist for up to 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Furthermore, the impact of overnight overall information measured in terms of U.S. stock returns on overnight anomalies in China's A-share is asymmetric with a weaker negative correlation between overnight returns and subsequent intraday returns, while the positive correlation between overnight returns and future overnight returns is unaffected. Conversely, irrational information measured in terms of U.S. stock sentiment weakens the negative correlation between overnight returns and future intraday returns and significantly reinforces the positive correlation between overnight returns and future overnight returns.
期刊介绍:
Research in International Business and Finance (RIBAF) seeks to consolidate its position as a premier scholarly vehicle of academic finance. The Journal publishes high quality, insightful, well-written papers that explore current and new issues in international finance. Papers that foster dialogue, innovation, and intellectual risk-taking in financial studies; as well as shed light on the interaction between finance and broader societal concerns are particularly appreciated. The Journal welcomes submissions that seek to expand the boundaries of academic finance and otherwise challenge the discipline. Papers studying finance using a variety of methodologies; as well as interdisciplinary studies will be considered for publication. Papers that examine topical issues using extensive international data sets are welcome. Single-country studies can also be considered for publication provided that they develop novel methodological and theoretical approaches or fall within the Journal''s priority themes. It is especially important that single-country studies communicate to the reader why the particular chosen country is especially relevant to the issue being investigated. [...] The scope of topics that are most interesting to RIBAF readers include the following: -Financial markets and institutions -Financial practices and sustainability -The impact of national culture on finance -The impact of formal and informal institutions on finance -Privatizations, public financing, and nonprofit issues in finance -Interdisciplinary financial studies -Finance and international development -International financial crises and regulation -Financialization studies -International financial integration and architecture -Behavioral aspects in finance -Consumer finance -Methodologies and conceptualization issues related to finance
