报告摘要：

Reliable public information is the hallmark and cornerstone of a well-functioning financial market. This study evaluates stock market development in China by estimating the public information content of its stock prices. We show that overnight information is a good proxy for price informativeness of public information. It declined in China during 1996-2014 but increased in its neighbouring markets. The level of public information embedded in stock prices varies with market conditions and corporate governance variables. State ownership and ownership concentration have negative but declining impact, while foreign ownership and high-quality auditors had an increasingly positive impact.
