We examine the movement of Korean stock prices before and after the 1997 financial crisis. In contrast to the case of Japan documented by Hamao, Mei and Xu (2005), we find an increase in firm-level volatility. The results appear to derive from government efforts to restructure the corporate sector, specifically Chaebol firms, immediately after the market crash.
