Based on stock market information and institutional specific information from 2007 to 2012, we find a significantly negative relation between stock price synchronicity and institutional investors’ shareholdings, and domestic institutional investors have larger effects than foreign institutional investors because of the easy access to firm-specific information. Moreover, the inner associated relation between firm-specific information and institutional investors’ characteristics is explored. (Less)
