Empirical Test of Asymmetric Wealth Effect of China Stock Market De-cai Zhou, Hai-dong Xie, Zheng-feng Du School of Economics & Management, Nanchang University, Nanchang, China. P. R. (decaizhou@163.com) Abstract - Basing on monthly data from January 2003 to December 2011, Use Multivariate dynamic Markov regime switching model to build the China stock market business cycle index, then use cointegration and error correction model to test its consumptions wealth effect. The test results show that China's stock market not only has a significant short-term wealth effects, but also has significant long-term wealth effect. However the coefficient is negative, which is actually a crowding out effect. Using of the autoregressive dynamic distributed lag model, do further empirical analysis and find the asymmetric characteristics of stock market wealth effect in China. The main reason is maybe the substitution effect of investment to consumption larger than those of income effect in China, which may be related to the immature China stock market, investors and instable revenue expectation. Keywords – China stock mark, asymmetric wealth effect, business cycle index, empirical test I. LITERATURE REVIEW Ando, Albert and Modigliani (1963) have first proved that stock market has significant wealth effect in the analytical framework of permanent income hypothesis and life-cycle approach [1]. Since then, the overseas and domestic research on stock market wealth effect has focused on using different models and data to test empirically the size of wealth effect. The foreign research of stock market wealth effect can be roughly divided into two overlapping stages: The first stage is testing empirically wealth effect of house -hold’ assets, such as stocks, bonds and real estate, such as Hall (1978), Campbell (2000), Parker (1999), Boone, Girouard and Wanner (2001) [2] [3] [4] [5]. The second stage is empirically analyzing the asymmetry of the household’ assets wealth effect, which has sprung up in recent years. Patterson (1993) and Shea (1995) discussed the asymmetrical influence of wealth shock on consumption [6] [7] . Kuo and Chung (2002) connected the asymmetric sensitivity of consumption with economic cycle [8]. Cook (2002) and Stevans (2004) do empirical analysis to verify the asymmetric effects on consumption [9] [10]. Poterba (2000) thought that the stock market wealth effect is potentially asymmetrical [11]. Zndi (1999) tested and found that the stock market wealth increasing by $1 may make consumption increase by about 4 cents, but $1 shrink may lead to a consumption reduction of 7 cents [12]. However, Nicholas and Stephen’ conclusion is completely opposite to Zndi’s (1999) [13]. ____________________ Subsidized by China’s national social science Fund (NO.10CJL025) Empirical test of conclusions on the China stock market wealth effect can be mainly divided into two categories: The first is that the China stock market wealth effect does not exist in the consumption sense, such as Xin-ping Xia, Yi-xia Wang and Ming-gui Yu (2003), Shao-xiang Tang, Yu-cheng Cai and Liang-qiu Xie (2008), Ren-he Liu, Ying-na Huang and Ai-ming Zheng (2008) [14] [15] [16] .The second is that China stock market wealth effect is existence, though less obvious, and relatively weak, such as Zhen-ming Li (2001), Li Gao and Wei-dong Fan (2001), Xue-feng Li and Hui Xu (2003), Zha-yan Luo (2004), Hong Chen (2007), Chi-cheng Luo and Jian-jiang Liu (2008) [17] [18[19] [20] [21] [22]. The researches results above are the basis for our paper. However, the study of the China stock market wealth effect is only concerned about the existence or the size of the wealth effect, ignoring the inherent characteristics of the wealth effect, such as asymmetry. II. THE WEALTH EFFECT OF STOCK MARKET ON HOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION: EMPIRICAL TEST BASED ON COINTEGRATION AND ERROR CORRECTION MODEL We study the wealth effect of stock market on household consumption mainly using the variables of the stock market index, household income and consumption. The stock index is expressed by building the business cycle index of China stock market. Different from Standard practice that select only a single Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index (SHSECI), we have chosen three stock indexes: the SHSECI, Shenzhen Stock Exchange Composite Index (SZSECI) and Hong Kong's Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HKCEI) as the observed variables to build a business cycle index of China stock market. We have introduced SZSECI in order to contain the impact of the growing SME board of China in recent years on the consumption; taking into the low degree of internationalization and marketization of China stock market, we have also put in HKCEI in order to conclude the impact of international stock markets on China's consumption. We select monthly urban household per capita disposable income and consumption on behalf of household income and consumption. There is because urban household are the main investors of China stock market, and rural household are less involved in it. A. Construct business cycle index of China stock market based on the Multivariate dynamic Markov regime switching model we make LS lagged for 6 orders. 8 6 4 2 0 2003M01 2003M06 2003M11 2004M04 2004M09 2005M02 2005M07 2005M12 2006M05 2006M10 2007M03 2007M08 2008M01 2008M06 2008M11 2009M04 2009M09 2010M02 2010M07 2010M12 2011M05 2011M10 Due to limited space, we don’t describe the Multivariate dynamic Markov regime switching model and the scholars who are interested in it can read related works of Kim and Nelson(1998) [23]. Select monthly arithmetic average of the daily closing price of three stock indexes which are SHSECI, SZSECI and HKCEI from January 1999 to December 2011 as the observed variables to build Business cycle index of China stock market(S). The reference index is CITIC A shares Composite Stock Index (Z) which is transformed into the index which the mean is 100. The results show in Figure 1, data from the SINA net and CITIC index net. It can be seen from Figure 1 that the business cycle index of China stock market is consistent with the reference index CITIC Composite A Shares Stock Index. LC LY LS Fig. 2. Times series of LC, LY, and LS 2) Tests on data’s stability. Use unit root test to examine the stabilities of the series. Reach the outcome at the tableⅠ. The tableⅠshows that three variables LC, LY and LS have unit roots under ADF test and PP test and they are unstable time series. However their first difference of DLC, DLY and DLS all reject the null hypothesis on the 1% significance level, namely, they are stable time series. 1999M02 1999M10 2000M06 2001M02 2001M10 2002M06 2003M02 2003M10 2004M06 2005M02 2005M10 2006M06 2007M02 2007M10 2008M06 2009M02 2009M10 2010M06 2011M02 2011M10 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 S Z Fig. 1. Business cycle index(S) and the reference (Z) B. Empirical test to wealth effects of China stock market on consumption based on cointegration and error correction model 1) The data’s selection and disposal. We selected urban per capita consumption as dependent variable and business cycle index of China stock market and urban per capita disposable income as independent variables. They are all monthly data, which originate from CEInet and range from January 2003 to December 2011. Amongst, the data of the consumptions and the income after 2007 are calculated from the Quarterly data with per capita social retail goods as weights. In order to eliminate the effect of inflation, all data are adjusted to the actual value by setting CPI’s base period at January 2003. Considering household consumption and their disposable income turn out significant seasonal properties, we adjusted them by the method of X12. transforming data into logarithm form does not change the original cointegration relationships and the linearize the trend, eliminate heteroscedasticity among time series, we take natural logarithm to them, marking household consump -tion, disposable income and stock market business cycle index as LC, LY and LS. The final outcome of the disposal is displayed in Fig 2, which indicates that the lag 4 to 8 of business cycle index of China stock market take effects on household consumption and the effects are asymmetrical.

The variable unit root test results show that the LC, LY and LS are all one order integrations. In order to avoid spurious regression, we examine whether there are cointegration relationships among three variables. The results of Johansen cointegration relationship test based on multiple VAR model are shown in table Ⅱ. Trace test results show that, on the 5% significance level, we reject the hypothesis that there is no cointegration equation and accept the assumption that there exists 1 cointegration equation. This indicates that there is one cointegration relationship among the three variables. The result of Max-eigenvalue test also shows that, on the 5% level, we reject the assumption that there exists no cointegration equation, the three variables have 1 cointegration equation. It can be seen that this two kinds of test results show that LC, LY, LS exist cointegration relations, namely that three there is a long-term equilibrium relationship between them. 4) Granger causality test. Cointegration test results show that there is a long-term stable equilibrium relationship among LC, LY and LS ranging from January 2003 to December 2011. The following granger causality tests further prove their short-term relationships; the details are shown in Table Ⅲ. The table Ⅲ shows the stock business cycle index is the granger reason of household consumption and disposable income, and there are no granger causalities between household consumption and disposable income.

Cointegration test and granger causality test results show that there are equilibrium relationships among LC, LY and LS both in the short-term and in the long-term; therefore we use cointegration and error correction model to study the stock market’s wealth effect to the household consumption. According to lag order tests, coefficients that lag 1 order are basically not significant. This paper choose lags order 2 ~ 4 in error correction model, and then use Eviews7.0 to estimate the relationship among LC, LY LS, the results are as follows: Cointegration equation: 𝐿𝐶𝑡 = 0.6979 + 0.8656𝐿𝑌𝑡 − 0.0165𝐿𝑆𝑡 +𝐸𝐶𝑀 𝑡 (14.2944∗ ) (85.5859∗ ) (−2.3638∗ ) (9) Error correction equation: 𝐷𝐿𝐶𝑡 = −0.5009𝐸𝐶𝑀𝑡−1 − 0.0106𝐷𝐿𝐶𝑡−2 − 0.2165𝐷𝐿𝐶𝑡−3 (−0.0056) (−2.5399∗ ) (−0.9692) − 0.1348𝐷𝐿𝐶𝑡−4 +0.2018𝐷𝐿𝑌𝑡−2 + 0.3792𝐷𝐿𝑌𝑡−3 + 0.2463𝐷𝐿𝑌𝑡−4 (−0.8011) (1.2464) (1.8976∗∗ ) (1.9296∗∗ ) + 0.2206𝐷𝐿𝑆𝑡−2 − 0.3631𝐷𝐿𝑆𝑡−3 + 0.1579𝐷𝐿𝑆𝑡−4 (2.3784∗ ) (−3.5757∗ ) (1.7071∗∗ ) (10) Amongst the numbers in brackets are t-statistics, those with * and ** represent significant on 5% and 10% levels respectively. The results indicate that: (1) as it is shown in equation (9), household consumption (LC) and disposable income (LY), stock market index (LS) have a long-term equilibrium relationship. The marginal propensity of consume (MPC) of current period disposable income (LY) is 0.8656, the marginal propensity of consume (MPC) of stock index (LS) is -0.0165, and t-statistics are significant, indicating that the stock market have dramatic long-term negative wealth effect to household consumption, namely the crowding out effect, which is opposite to developed countries’ basically positive wealth effect. In the long run, stock market’s excessive boom may take up great deals of consumption funds, posing a crowding out effect on consumption. This may be due to the fact that only about 20 years have passed since the establishment of China stock market. So the market is not mature, has too much speculation and volatility, it is hard for consumption to form stable long-term earnings expectation. (2) It can be seen from the error correction equation (10) that there exist short-term dynamic relations among changes in household consumption (DLC) and in household disposable income (DLY), in the stock market (DLS). First of all, the coefficients of 3 ~ 4 order lagged disposable income are significant at 7% level, indicating that China household consumes according to permanent income; Second, all the coefficients of changes in stock market index (DLS) are significant at 5% and 10% levels respectively, indicating that the stock market has significant short-term wealth effect to household consumption, but the effect is not stable. This may have something to do with the China stock market’s drastic volatility and fluctuation. 6) Analysis of generalized impulse response function. Generalized impulse response function is used to measure the effect of random perturbation terms from a standard deviation shocks on endogenous variable’s current and future values. From the figure 3, it is known that the household consumption has a strong positive reaction to one of its own standard deviation in period 1, about 0.0395, then it increase gradually, and stabilize at about 0.10 after the period 23; it has a strong positive reaction to one of household disposable income standard deviation in period 1, about 0.0351, then it increase gradually, and stabilize at 0.098 after the period 23; it also has a strong positive reaction to one of household disposable income standard deviation in period 1, about 0.0015, then it f fluctuate gradually, and stabilize at 0.008 after the period 12. This shows that there have short and long terms wealth effects of stock index. 0.12 0.1 0.08 0.06 0.04 0.02 0 -0.02 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 LC LY LS Fig. 3.

ASYMMETRICAL WEALTH EFFECTS OF STOCK MARKET: BASED ON AUTOREGRESSIVE DISTRIBUTED LAG MODEL In order to study stock market’s asymmetrical wealth effect on household consumption, referring to Nicholas Apergis and Stephen M. Miller(2004), this paper adopt the error correction model as follows[13]: 𝐽 𝐷𝐿𝐶𝑡 = 𝐸𝐶𝑀𝑡−1 + ∑𝐼𝑖=1 𝛼1𝑖 ∗ 𝐷𝐿𝐶𝑡−𝑖 + ∑𝑗=0 𝛼2𝑗 ∗ 𝐷𝐿𝑌 + ∑𝐾 (𝛼 ∗ 𝐷𝐿𝑆 + + 𝛼 ∗ 𝐷𝐿𝑆 − ) + 𝑡−𝑗 𝑘=0 3𝑘 𝑡−𝑘 4𝑘 𝑡−𝑘 ∑𝑀 (11) 𝑚=0 𝜃𝑚 𝜇𝑡−𝑚 Amongst 𝐷𝐿𝑆 + and 𝐷𝐿𝑆 − represent positive impact and negative impact of changes in stock market respectively. In order to eliminate multi col-linearity and self-correlation caused by multi-orders lags, this paper estimate the above model by using auto regression dynamic distribution model. Amongst error correction term is the one estimated from cointegration lag 0-2. 𝐷𝐿𝐶𝑡 =−0.6901𝐸𝐶𝑀𝑡−1 − 0.5068𝐷𝐿𝐶𝑡−1 − 0.1056𝐷𝐿𝐶𝑡−2 (−7.500∗ ) (−5.6788∗ ) (−1.2512) + 0.6561𝐷𝐿𝑌𝑡 + 0.3001𝐷𝐿𝑌𝑡−1 +0.0823𝐷𝐿𝑌𝑡−2 (4.4966∗ ) (1.3329) (13.5913∗ ) + + + − 0.1318𝐷𝐿𝑆𝑡 + 0.0136𝐷𝐿𝑆𝑡−1 + 0.1523𝐷𝐿𝑆𝑡−2 ∗ (−2.3400) (0.8036) (2.7276 ) − − + 0.1448𝐷𝐿𝑆𝑡− − 0.00269𝐷𝐿𝑆𝑡−1 − 0.1852𝐷𝐿𝑆𝑡−2 ∗ ∗ (2.1228 ) (−1.2035) (−2.6051 ) + 𝜇𝑡 − 0.3450𝜇𝑡−2 (12) (−2.9991∗ ) Where the bracketed figures are t-statistics, those with * represent significant at 5% significance level. The results of model indicate that: 1) the development of stock market has both positive and negative wealth effect on household consumption in short-term, but negative in long-term. It is asymmetrical. In the short-term, stock market’s positive impact on household consumption is negative and significant at the 5% level, The effects of the positive impact of the stock market index of the lag 1 and 2 on household consumption is positive. But only the coefficient of lag 2 is significant at the 5% level. All positive effects are 0.0341.Spot stock market index’s negative impact on household consumption is positive and significant at the 5% level. The effects of the negative impact of the lag 1 and 2‘s stock market index on household consumption is negative. But only the coefficient of lag 2 is significant at the 5% level. All negative effects are -0.0673.The negative effects are 0.9719 times higher than the positive effects. These figures illustrate that the household consumption is more sensitive about the stock market’s bad news than good news. It is obviously asymmetrical. All the positive and negative effects are -0.0332. It turns out that in the long run wealth effect of stock market on household consumption is negative which actually a kind of crowding out effect. In other words, as the stock market develop, the household do not use stock returns to consume, but to increase investment in the stock market. It is incompatible with the situation that the wealth effects of stock markets are mostly positive in developed countries. This may be due to several reasons: Firstly, the development level of China's stock market is relatively low. The stock market is easy to soaring prices, then result that the stock market investment become high-risk ones and its income is uncertain and cannot form a stable income expectations. Secondly, it is poor maturity of the China stock investors, who are chasing shadie seriously. It makes the investment substitution effect is greater than the income effect. Thirdly, China’s stock market environment is not ideal and it has the phenomenon of the short bull market and long bear market. The bull markets is generally one year and bear market for 3-5 years, and it also appeared the famous 28 phenomenon, that is, 20% of investors make money, 80% of investors lose money. So it naturally cannot be better to boost the consumption. 2) The coefficient of the error correction term is -0.6901 and significant in the 5% level, indicating that short - term has a large reverse correction to long-term. (3) Whether spot or lag 1 and 2 , household disposable income impact on household consumption is positive and significant at the 5% level , but the extent of this impact is gradually decreasing , indicating that the household is based on permanent income consumption. V. CONCLUSION Based on the latest monthly time series data, we used the cointegration and error correction model and dynamic distributed lag model to study China stock market’s wealth effect. The cointegration and error correction model indicate that the wealth effect on household consumption is significant both on short-term and long-term, but the value is mostly negative which is incommensurate that the wealth effect is mostly positive in developed countries. Further, taking advantage of the studies using the dynamic distributed lag model, China stock market shows both short-term and long-term wealth effect on household consumption, and the overall effect is negative. That confirms the conclusion of our cointegration and error correction model once again. We also find that the wealth effect of China stock market has an asymmetric characteristic. The main conclusions are as follows: 1) The conclusions of cointegration and error correction model. The cointegration equation shows that the stock market index (LS) has negative impact on household consumption (LC) in the long term, and the coefficients are significant at the 5% level. Reasons that make the investments in China’s equity market unable to play a role of blood transfusion to household consumption, and impede the transition from China stock market to consumptions are the companies in it abusing the power of financing, as well as the market environment of bull short and bear long and 28 phenomenon. Disposable income (LY) for long-term impact on household consumption (LC) is positive and is significant at the 5% level, indicating that in the long term, China household pay with permanent income in consumption. From the error correction model, the changes of stock market index (DLS) and disposable income (DLY) have a significant effect on one of household Consumption (DLC). But the impacts are both positive and negative. Combined with the analysis equation decomposition and impulse response, we find that the impact of changes of stock market index (DLS) and household' disposable income (DLY) to one of household consumption (DLC) is increasing at the beginning and then tend to stability gradually in the short term (about 1-2 year). Those mean that the wealth effect of stock index (LS) and disposable income (LY) to household consumption exists and keeps forever. 2) The conclusions of dynamic distributed lag model. Firstly, we have confirmed two conclusions of cointegration and error correction model: one is that the change of China stock market index (DLS) has a significant wealth effect on one of household consumption (DLC), and the effect are both positive and negative, but is negative in general, that is -0.0176; the other is that the changes of household disposable income (DLY) has a significant effect on one of household consumption (DLC) and is gradually decreased with increasing order lag, which shows that China household pay with permanent income in consumption. Secondly, the change of China stock market index (DLS) has significant and asymmetric wealth effect on the changes household consumption (DLC) .The negative impact of the change of stock market index (DLS) is 1.9720 times of the positive one. So the difference is very large. China stock market wealth effect is mainly manifested as crowding out effect, which does harm to the long-term development of China stock market. Therefore, we need to improve the system of stock market, especially making the flow from investment to consumption channels smoothly, say, the establishment of bonus system.
