Yes / Extant literature shows the positive impact of institutional development on investor rationality
and market efficiency. The authors extend this evidence by investigating the
performance-flow relationship in the Chinese mutual fund market before and after the
enforcement of the revised Law of the People’s Republic of China on Securities Investment
Fund. Empirical evidence reveals that Chinese investors irrationally chase past star performers
before institutional reform, but gradually become rational and less obsessed with
star-chasing behaviors after reform. Moving one percentile upward in the relative performance
among the star funds is associated with money inflows by 0.532% after reform,
much lower than 1.433% before reform. The findings confirm the positive influence of
institutional development on investor rationality and market efficiency. The successful
experience can be borrowed by other emerging markets with less developed institutions. / National Social Science Foundation of China [grant number 15AJY019].
