This thesis addresses asset pricing in Chinese A-share stock markets using a dataset consisting of all shares listed in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges from January 1997 to December 2007. The empirical work is carried out based on two theoretical foundations: the efficient market...

The traditional literature on the CAPM assumes that investor's tax payments simply vanish from the model. This … assumption is not at all consistent with the actual behavior of the Treasury. The theory of general equilibrium states that an … interest rate rf = 0 will not affect prices if taxes are introduced. We show that this result can be extended to the CAPM if …
