CONCLUSION""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aIn this paper, we examine returns in the Chinese A and B stock markets for evidence of calendar anomalies. We find that both cultural and structural (segmentation) factors play an important role in influencing the pricing of both A- and B-shares in China. There is some evidence of a February turn-of-the-year effect, partly owing to the timing of the Chinese Lunar New Year (CNY); and the holiday effect around the CNY period is stronger and more persistent compared with the other public holidays. The segmentation between the two markets is apparent in the day-of-the-week effect, where B stock markets tend to post significant negative returns on Tuesdays, corresponding with overnight developments in the United States, while significant negative returns are observed on Mondays in the A stock markets. Investment strategies based on some of these calendar anomalies, and allowing for transaction costs, suggest that the A stock markets tend to offer more economically significant returns. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/06/4. 606 $aStocks$zChina$xRate of return 615 0$aStocks$xRate of return. 700 $aMitchell$b Jason D$g(Jason David),$f1966-$01764189 701 $aOng$b Li Lian$01756308 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bMonetary and Financial Systems Dept. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816275703321 996 $aSeasonalities in China's stock markets$94204937 997 $aUNINA
