简介 |
<p>This paper examines the role of investor learning in price discovery following important macroeconomic announcements. Using unscheduled macroeconomic news released outside regular Chinese stock market hours, we analyze how investors’ overnight learning, in the absence of trading, affects price discovery. Our findings show that overnight learning helps level the information playing field among heterogeneous investors, leading to more efficient price discovery and reduced information asymmetry at market opening. Retail investors benefit particularly from this process, evidenced by increased trading activity and reduced return reversals during the trading day compared to overnight returns.</p> |
