Research Abstract |
14 : 46 on March 11, 2011, Tohoku earthquake hit northeast coast of Japan and caused enormous damage on the economy. Closely focusing on the post-earthquake days, we evaluates the efficacy of circuit breakers on a turbulent market through exploration of a unique trading mechanism combined with price limit and trading halt rule. Even in the stormy market, we find little evidence to support effectiveness of trading halt : halted stocks are suffered from inefficient price discovery process and higher volatility over post-shock days. The results suggest in the midst of panic, trading in open market is the solution to resolve uncertainty.
