With the empirical support from the ordinary least square regression method (OLS) based on the Chinese A-share IPO figure, aiming to explore the sources of the IPO market underpricing phenomenon. Besides, this article also discusses China-specific financial market characteristics and assesses the effect of past Chinese stock market policy changes.
