This paper tries to analysis the influence of pre-market and after- market in financial market based on the financial experiment.

The main findings of this study are: In the treatment of pre-market and after-market: (1) the bubbles are largely increased, (2) there is no significant difference between the two treatments,(3) the market volatility is increased but not significant,(4) the trading activity is significantly increased.(5) The market efficiency of is lower in the first two phases , but is higher in the last phase compared to the SSW (6) traders who take part in the after-hours trading gain the lowest profits. (7) The profits are less unequally distributed compared to the SSW. Key words: Experimental finance; asset market; pre-market and after-market; bubbles; volatility; profit; Gini coefficient
