碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 金融研究所 === 103 === This paper empirically examines the differences of abnormal return, shadow cost, liquidity effect, information asymmetry and arbitrage risk during the composition change of CSI300 index to observe the behavior of investors in China market. Although this paper examines the short term return of adjusted stock change in the same direction as recent studies, added stocks increase and deleted stocks decrease, the long term return reverse. This paper also computes those four variables to observe their changes during the adjustment. The results show that the movements of these four variables are similar to the previous studies. To observe how these variables affect the return of the stocks, this paper computes a regression analysis with the cumulative abnormal return as the dependent variable. The results show that only the affection of liquidity matches the recent studies of S&;P 500, when the others are not. The reason of this phenomenon maybe because of the CSI 300 index intends to include the overestimated stocks and exclude the underestimated stocks. The adjustment is determined by the past one year trading volume, which means that the market, with individual investors provided 81 % of trading volume, may possibly overestimate the included stocks. That maybe the reason why the influence of composition change is not similar to recent studies.
