This paper uses the market model to modify Sutrick (1993) conditional expectation method in estimating the equilibrium prices under price limits. The modified method can reduce estimation errors. The estimated equilibrium prices can be applied to various applications. The estimated equilibrium returns are used to examine the overreaction hypothesis for limit.hit stocks listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. The sample includes most limit moves for all listed stocks in 1971-96. The results indicate significant negative abnormal returns following up limit moves and significant positive abnormal returns following down limit moves. This finding is consistent with the overreaction hypothesis.
