Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze the effectiveness of price limit regulation in the context that herd behavior is prevalent in the Vietnamese stock market during the period January-2003 to August-2006. Employing the approach proposed by Kim et al. (1997) we find supporting evidences for the three hypotheses of volatility spillover, delayed price discovery process, and trade interference. By using the model of Christea and Huang (1995) with some modification and extension we realize herding behavior occurs quite frequently, whenever the market moves at least 1% or after large price changes of individual stocks appear. However, as the herding pattern is likely the same after the large individual returns regardless of limit-hit existence, it is hardly an alternative explanation for the three hypotheses.
