Based on daily stock returns in the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) A-shares, this paper divides the period between 2005 and 2018 into eight bull and bear market stages to investigate interactive patterns in the Chinese financial market. We employ the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) method to construct the stock network, compare the heterogeneity of bull and bear markets, and further use the Map Equation method to analyse the evolution of modules in the SSE A-shares market. Empirical results show that (1) the connected effect is more significant in bear markets than bull markets and gives rise to abnormal volatilities in the stock market; (2) a system module can be found in the network during the first four stages, and the industry aggregation effect leads to module differentiation in the last four stages; (3) some stocks have leading effects on others throughout eight periods, and medium- and small-cap stocks with poor financial conditions are more likely to become risk sources, especially in bear markets. Our conclusions are beneficial to improving investment strategies and making regulatory policies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23040434","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,7]],"date-time":"2021-04-07T21:49:06Z","timestamp":1617832146000},"page":"434","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Dynamic Analyses of Contagion Risk and Module Evolution on the SSE A-Shares Market Based on Minimum Information Entropy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Muzi","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management Science and Engineering, Central University of Finance and Economics, Beijing 102206, China"}]},{"given":"Yuhang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management Science and Engineering, Central University of Finance and Economics, Beijing 102206, China"}]},{"given":"Boyao","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics, Monash University, Melbourne 3145, Australia"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1159-3134","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Difang","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics, Monash University, Melbourne 3145, Australia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"101484","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pacfin.2020.101484","article-title":"Institutional trading in volatile markets: Evidence from Chinese stock markets","volume":"65","author":"Darby","year":"2021","journal-title":"Pac.
