Abstract

Abstract: The existence of Issuance Examination Commission (IEC) and Approval System in Chinese new issue market induce one unique problem-issuer rent-seekingtoward IEC. To be specific, it includes two types: the qualification rent-seeking, which aims at successful listing; and the pricing rent-seeking, which aims at high pricing efficiency. Prior studies mainly focused on qualification rent-seeking topic, and drawn consistent conclusion that this type of rent-seeking adopted external auditor as one of its main paths, and largely would succeed. In the meantime, pricing rent-seeking topic had never received the due attention. Combined with our market practical problem of unreasonably high underpricing, we believe this research would fill some gap.

Key words: issuer rent-seeking; audit firm; internal audit; new-issue pricing efficiency; market screening
