Abstract:
Circuit breakers were triggered four times in Chinese stock market in 2016 and provided a valuable opportunity to empirically examine the impacts of circuit breakers on market quality. By comparing price movement, liquidity and market efficiency in the days when circuit breakers were triggered with the time-matched benchmark and the return-matched benchmark, this letter investigates the negative effects of circuit breakers. Empirical results suggest that circuit breakers failed to improve the market quality and brought huge welfare losses to investors.
