The government adjusted the securities transaction stamp tax several times to stabilize the stock market. Using Event-Study analysis and GARCH model, this paper analyses the influence of securities transaction stamp tax adjustment on Shanghai stock market after the adjustment on September 19, 2008. It concludes that this adjustment had strong impact on Shanghai stock market in the short-term; but for the long term, the effect was weakened step by step.
