This study examines whether price limits affect underlying equilibrium prices on limit-hitting days. To identify two effects--a ceiling effect and a cooling or heating effect (C--H effect)--we use the fact that equilibrium prices are reached at the day immediately after price limits are hit. We...

In this study, we demonstrate how price limits can affect a return series on limit-hitting days. Our identification of two effects - a ceiling effect and a cooling or heating effect (C-H effect) is based on a resampling method suggested by Wei and Chiang (1999). We estimate the C-H effect by...
