Abstract
Using a difference-in-difference approach, we find that restrictions placed on CSI 300 and CSI 500 index futures trading during the recent Chinese stock market crisis deteriorated spot market quality. This is more so for the September trade restriction. Our results can be explained by the sudden risk exposure faced by alpha-strategy traders. They stop trading spots after the index futures trading restrictions, hence worsening the spot market quality.
