Testing Semi-strong Form Efficiency of Stock Market

Testing Semi-strong Form Efficiency of Stock Market

The efficient market hypothesis suggests that stock markets are “informationally efficient”. That is, any new information relevant to the market is spontaneously reflected in the stock prices. A consequence of this hypothesis is that past prices cannot have any predictive power for future prices once the current prices have been used as an explanatory variable. In other words the change in futu...

Weak-Form Efficiency In The German Stock Market

Weak-Form and Semi-Strong-Form Stock Return Predictability Revisited

T paper makes indirect inference about the time variation in expected stock returns by comparing unconditional sample variances to estimates of expected conditional variances. The evidence reveals more predictability as more information is used, and there is no evidence that predictability has diminished in recent years. Semi-strong-form evidence suggests that time variation in expected returns...

Testing on Weak Form Market Efficiency Hypothesis: The Evidence from Dhaka Stock Market Year 2004-2012

The purpose of this study is to test The Weak Form Efficient Market Hypothesis in Dhaka’s Stock Market. The study examined the distribution of equity returns by dividing the sample period into two sub periods of daily DSE General Index (DGEN) and sub periods are sample-1(2004-2007), and sample-2 (2008-2012). Also, monthly general index starting from 1990 to 2012 are taken as sample to test the ...
