This paper examines what promotes the former A-share public firms to go initial public offerings in the latter B-share market. Following implications are derived from the empirical analyzes. First, an A-share firm’s profitability positively influences the probability of the IPO in the B-share market, but reverses after additional issuances are made. Second, in addition, an A-share firm’s IPO in the B-share market consequently relaxed the bank borrowing constraint in the post-IPO period. Third, an A-share firm with high growth opportunity is apt to go IPO in the B-share market. Fourth, size of the A-share firm is positively related to both the probability of IPO and the number of capital stock issued in the B-share market.}, pages = {23--35}, title = {Segmented Stock Market and the IPO in a Transition Economy : Evidence from Chinese B-Share Firms}, volume = {45}, year = {2009} }
