Abstract—The maturity and openness of Chinese stock
markets can be measured by price impact of other mature stock
markets on them. The article uses wavelet analysis to eliminate
noise in stock price signal and analyzes to what degree is
Shanghai stock market affected by volatility of stock markets of
Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York and London by using SVAR
(Structural Vector Auto Regression), impulse response analysis
and variance decomposition. The results show that Chinese
stock markets are becoming more and more mature and open,
which are integrated into the global stock market gradually,
which can be known from the response of Shanghai Composite
Index shocked by the other indices. Among all the mature stock
indices in the paper, influence of Dow-Jones Index on Shanghai
Composite Index is most significant, followed by FTSE100
Index.
