摘要: Choice among different stock markets is an important decision for firms during IPOs. Does location choice affect firms' post-IPO performance and market value? Using data about mainland Chinese real estate firms, this article shows that those firms listed in the Hong Kong stock market exhibited higher performance (return on asset) than those listed in mainland Chinese stock markets, though their market values did not differ significantly. Additionally, among those firms listed in Hong Kong, state ownership led to lower market value; however, for firms listed in mainland China, state ownership led to higher value. These empirical findings are consistent with predictions from corporate governance and agency theories.
