This paper analyzes the price discovery mechanism between the Chinese American Depository Receipts (ADRs) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and their underlying H shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX). It employs the Permanent-Transitory decomposition in vector autoregression (VAR) model, and finds that the New York stock market makes the principal contribution to the price discovery, and the proportion of contribution is 84.84%; while the Hong Kong market makes only subsidiary contribution of 15.16%. In addition, it confirms the existence of the long-term cointegration relationship between ADRs and H shares, which implies that portfolio diversification among Chinese ADRs is consistent with Global Center Hypothesis and efficient for international investors.
