主讲人:尹妮娜（威斯尼斯人人力资本与劳动经济研究中心助理教授）

摘要：This paper examine the impact of antitrust regulations on firm market value for Chinese giant internet platforms, with comparison to the US counterparts. With historical daily stock market data from Bloomberg between January 2010 to October 2021, we investigate the abnormal returns of the relevant Chinese and US internet platform listed in the US and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges with event study approach. Our results indicate that the antitrust investigation has a short-term negative impact on firm market price, but it restores to its normal return in the long-run; Investors's reaction to the initiation of investigations taken place in different jusridictions signifies the different practices pattern of administrative remedies and judicial remedies across jurisdictions matters; Investor responses more towards antitrust administration and legislation in China than that in the US, indicates the stronger enforcement power in Chinese market; Comparing to local investors, foreigner investors react more aggressively to regulations in China.
