Abstract: This paper studies the segmented structure of the Chinese stock market, which is a unique opportunity to investigate the possible sources of the long-range dependence phenomena in asset returns. Using the Hurst's exponent evaluated by the Local Whittle method as the measure of long-range dependence, evidence is found supporting that while type B shares present strong evidence of the long-range dependence phenomena, type A shares present only weak evidence of such dependence. This result suggests that liquidity and information transmission play a role in explaining results of market efficiency tests.
