The unob served idiosyncratic firm features captured by αican be wiped out with panel data by running the first difference equation:

' '

, , 1 ( , 1 , 2) ( , , 1) , , 1

i t i t i t i t i t i t i t i t

PREPRE PRE PRE XX +ε −ε (4.7) In equation (4.7) , the difference of the lagged termPREi t, 1PREi t,2 is correlated

with the difference of the disturba nce εi t, −εi t, 1 , i.e., E dPRE( i t, 1dεit)≠0 . The

conventional ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation is no longer appropriate as

biased and inconsistent estimator will result.

Anderson and Hsiao (1982) suggested using the level PREi,t-2,or the lagged difference

dPREi,t-2, as instruments for the differenced lagged endogenous regressor dPREi,t-1.

Assuming there is no serial correlation, these instruments can be expected to be

uncorrelated with the differenced error term:

, 2

( i t it) 0

E PRE dε = and E dPRE( i t,2dεit)=0 (4.8)

method-of-moments (GMM) procedure is proposed by Arellano and Bond (1991), and

then further generalized and extended by Ahn and Schmidt (1995), Arellano and Bover (1995) and Blundell and Bond (1998) just to mention a few. Arellano and Bond

(1991) argue that additional instruments can be obtained in a dynamic panel model if

one utilizes the orthogonality cond itions that exist between lagged values of

dependent variable and the disturbances. Following this, values of PRE lagged one

period or more qualify as instruments in the first-differenced system, implying the following moment conditions:

, ,

( i t s i t) 0

E PRE dε = , t=3,…,T; s>=2 (4.9)

GMM estimation based on (4.9) alone could be highly inefficient. In most cases, it is

necessary to make use of the explanatory variables as additional instruments. Under

the assumption that X’i,t are exogenous variables, E X( 'i t, εi s, )=0for all t, s=1,2,…,T, the explanator y variables can also be considered as valid instruments:

, ,

( 'i t s i t) 0

E X dε = , t=3,…,T; s>= 1 (4.10)

However when the va lue of γ increases towards unity, and as the relative variance of the fixed effects αi increases, the instruments used in the standa rd first-differenced GMM estimator become less informative. Blundell and Bond (1998) derived a

consistent estimator for this problem by allowing use of an extended system GMM

estimator. In addition to lagged levels of dependent variable as instruments for

equations in first differences, they use lagged differences of dependent variable as

, 1 ,

( i t i t) 0

E dPRE ε = , for t=3,…,T (4.11)

When X’ are exoge nous, the follow ing level moment conditions can also be used as additional instruments:

, ,

( 'i t s i t) 0

E dX ε = , t=3,…,T; s>=1 (4.12)

This technique is especially designed for situations with “small T, large N” panels,

meaning few time periods and many individuals.

The consistency of the GMM estimator s depe nds on the validity of two assumpt ions:

firstly, the error terms are assumed not exhibit serial correlation, and secondly, the

instruments are not correlated with error terms. To address these issues, two

specification tests suggested by Arellano and Bond (1991), Arellano and Bover (1995)

and Blunde ll and Bond (1998) are used here. The overall validity of the moment

conditions is checked by the Sargan test8

. The null hypothesis of the instrumental

variables are uncorrelated to some set of residuals is rejected if the Sargan test statistic

registers a large value compared with a chi-squared distribution with the degree of

freedom equals to the difference between the number of moment conditions and

number of parameters. To check the serial correlation property of the level residuals, the Arellano-Bond m1 and m2 statistics are calculated. If the level residuals were

indeed serially unc orrelated, then, by construction, the first-differenced residuals in

(4.7) would follow a MA(1) process which implies that autocorrelations of the first

order are non-zero but the second or higher order ones are zero. Based on the

1) in large samples, test the null hypotheses of zero first order and second order

autocorrelation, respectively. A signi ficant m1 and insignificant m2 would suggest valid moment conditions.

The dynamic panel regression results, utilizing both the GMM-difference estimator

and GMM-system estimator, of the Shangha i- and Shenzhen- listed firms are reported

in Tables 4.5 and 4.6 respectively. Models A and B are based on the GMM-difference

estimators and models C and D are based on the GMM-system estimators. In mode l A, the instrument set is equation (4.9), that is values of PRE lagged one period or more

are used as instruments in the first-differenced system; in mod el B, instrumental set

(4.10) is further added to the instrumental set (4.9); in model C, (4.11) is augmented

with (4.9)-(4.10), that is lagged differences of PRE are used as add itional instruments

for equations in levels in add ition to the instruments for equations in first differences; in model D, extra instrumental variables, (4.12), lagged differences of explanatory

variables are added to the instrumental set of mode l C. Since I only have a short T,

i.e., T=11, which is not sufficient to conduct the analysis in sub-periods to take into

account of the po licy changes, I will run the dynamic panel regressions over the ent ire

sample period to get a evidence of how the firm fundamentals attribute to the A- shares premium on the SHSE and SZSE respectively. The tests results are reported in

Tables 4.4 and 4.5.

Wald test for all explanatory variables are jointly significant.

Values in the parentheses are p-values. ‘*’ indicates significant at the 10% level; ‘**’ ind icates significant at the 5% level; and ‘***’ ind icates significant at the 1% level.

In all mode ls, validity of the instrument variables is confirmed by bot h the Sargan test

and the Arellano-Bond serial correlation test. Highly statistically significant Wald

in explaining the premium. Significant coefficients of LPREM in mode ls C and D

suggest first-order autocorrelation exists in the premium. Though not statistically significant at any conventional level, DTE shows positive sign, as the H. I expected,

in all mode ls. As measurements of firm profitability, EPS and ROE are found not to

be contributing to the premium at any conventional significance level with only one

exception in model B and when LMCAP1 is included, and so I would draw the

conclusion that firm profitability is not an impor tant factor causing the A-shares price premium, and local Chinese and foreign investors do not have muc h difference in

valuing firm profitability. At the 10% significance level, all mode ls confirm FEG

drives the premium, however the sign of which is not what is expected. I find FEG is

positively, rather than negatively, associated with PREM, suggesting it is actually A-

shares investors who care more about firms’ long term performance. This surprising result is also found with FSG, firm’s prospect measured by the forecast sales growth,

as supported by most of the models. DIV is found to be significantly negatively

related to the premium as the H. IV expected. FR is found to be insignificant at the 5%

level in all mode ls. Because of the existence of the unique untradeable shares, firm

size is measured by two approaches, one includes the untradeable shares into calculation of the market capitalization, and one does not. Most of the models show a

positive relationship between the premium and firm size, although some of which are

not statistically significant. This finding is contradictory with both previous evidence

and the theoretical prediction discussed in the H. VI. In interpreting this, I would

rather believe that the result suggests both local and foreign investors prefer to invest in larger firms, though the local Chinese pay relatively more attention to the firm size

factor. Relative liquidity enters the premium pos itively as expected, and confirms

previous evidence that the A-shares investors prefer liquid shares.

Wald test for all explanatory variables are jointly significant.

Values in the parentheses are p-values. ‘*’ indicates significant at the 10% level; ‘**’ ind icates significant at the 5% level; and ‘***’ ind icates significant at the 1% level.

In the Shenzhen market, insignificant Sargan test statistics again confirm the overall

validity of instruments used in all models. However, Arellano-Bond’s second-order

serial correlation test fails to reject at the 5% significance level in mod el B. Again,

highly statistically signi ficant Wald statistics confirmed all variables included in the

regressions are jointly significant in explaining the premium. Highly significant and

pos itive coefficients of LPREM in all models indicate strong mean reversion property

of the premium. Same as what is found in the Shanghai market, the financial leverage

is insignificant, at any conventional level, in explaining the premium in the Shenzhen

market. EPS is found significant at the 5% level in Model C but not in other mode ls,

and I would consider it as not statistically impor tant in explaining the premium.

Hence, the result indicates there is not much difference in valuing EPS between investors of the A- and B-shares. However, the other profitability measurement, ROE,

is found to be highly significant and negatively related to the premium in almost all

the models, suggesting compared with the A-shares investors, the B-shares investors,

as the H. II expected, give relatively more weight to ROE when valuing shares. Both the two measurements of firm prospects, FEG and FSG, are found no longer

statistically significant at any conventional level. DIV is found no longer significant in

affecting the premium in any of the models either. As the H. V expected, significant

and negative coefficient of FR in model C, though not in other models, supports the

C and D, the po sitive sign o f firm size is again observed: the LMCAP1 and LMCAP2

are found statistically significant at the 10% and 5% levels respective ly. The highly significant and pos itive liquidity factor again confirms the liquidity preference of the

A-shares investors.
