An empirical test on the difference between the trading of Malaysian stocks on KLSE (Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange) and CLOB (Central Limit Order Booking).

Abstract

Few empirical studies were conducted to test the level of market integration and the availability of arbitrage profit opportunities. One of the studies by Maldonado and Saunders (1983) showed that there is no arbitrage opportunities in the trading of United States Corporation stocks that are cross listed in London and New York exchanges. The impact of dual listing of a domestic country stock in the foreign country was studied by Sudram Janakiramanan (1986), which showed that dual listed stocks will be priced as if the market are completely integrated.
