Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper empirically investigates the behavior of stock returns of two premier stock markets in India, namely, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE). Specifically, the paper seeks to examine whether the security returns in these two markets follow Random Walk Hypothesis (RWH). Towards this end, data on major indexes during the period June 2, 1997 to February 29, 2009 are analyzed using variance ratio and auto-correlation tests. The results are inconclusive as both the tests provide mixed results.

Book excerpt: As long as financial markets are concerned, for many years' economists, statisticians and financial analyst have been interested in developing and testing models of stock price behaviour and their forecast. This study examines whether the Indian stock market is efficient if the stock returns follow a random walk. The study employs daily closing prices of NSE Midcap 50 Index for a time period of 15 Sept 2010 - 28 Nov 2014. The existence of random walk for NSE Midcap Index has been examined through autocorrelation, Q-statistics and the run test and finds that the Indian stock market was not efficient in the weak form during the testing period. The results suggest that the stock prices in India do not reflect all the information in the past stock prices and abnormal returns can be achieved by investors through exploiting the market inefficiency.

Download or read book The Random Walk Hypothesis in the Emerging Indian Stock Market written by Sunil S. Poshakwale and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the random walk hypothesis in the emerging Indian stock market using daily data on individual stocks. The statistical evidence in this paper rejects the random walk hypothesis. The results suggest that daily returns earned by individual stocks and by an equally weighted portfolio show significant non-linear dependence and persistent volatility effects. The non-linear dependence takes the form of ARCH-type conditional heteroskedasticity and does not appear to be caused by nonstationarity of underlying economic variables. Though conditional volatility is time varying, it does not explain expected returns.
Download or read book Indian Stock Market written by Gourishankar S. Hiremath and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is one of the major emerging economies of the world and has witnessed tremendous economic growth over the last decades. The reforms in the financial sector were introduced to infuse energy and vibrancy into the process of economic growth. The Indian stock market now has the largest number of listed companies in the world. The phenomenal growth of the Indian equity market and its growing importance in the economy is indicated by the extent of market capitalization and the increasing integration of the Indian economy with the global economy. Various schools of thought explain the behaviour of stock returns. The Efficient Market Theory is the most important theory of the School of Neoclassical Finance based on rational expectation and no-trade argument. The book investigates the growth and efficiency of the Indian stock market in the theoretical framework of the Efficiency Market Hypothesis (EMH). The main objective of the present study is to examine the returns behaviour in the Indian equity market in the changed market environment. A detailed and rigorous analysis, made with the help of the sophisticated time series econometric models, is one of the key elements of this volume. The analysis empirically tests the random walk hypothesis and focuses on issues like nonlinear dynamics, structural breaks and long memory. It uses new and disaggregated data on recent reforms and changes in the market microstructure. The data on various indices including sectoral indices help in measuring the relative efficiency of the market and understanding how liquidity and market capitalization affect the efficiency of the market.

Book excerpt: This paper investigates weak form of efficiency in Indian equity market. For this purpose, informational efficiency of National Stock Exchange of Indian's indices i.e. NIFTY, bank NIFTY and IT NIFTY is examined. The NSE indices returns under the study do not confirm to normal distribution. The index log returns are found to be nonstationery at levels, whereas first differences are found stationery. The result of autocorrelation test finds evidence of statistical dependence in the returns generating process. In order to check the randomness in returns, ARIMA model is applied. The results of ARIMA model for all the three indices of NSE are found significant which implies that the returns are predictable and do not follow the random walk except in case of bank NIFTY, whose autoregression of first order (AR1) was found to be insignificant, but the serial correlation test of bank NIFTY is found significant.

Download or read book Semi Strong Form Efficiency of Indian Stock Market in Post Reform Period written by Dr Madhuchhanda Lahiri and published by Walnut Publication. This book was released on 2021-06-26 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Efficient Market Hypothesis is an elegant edifice that provides a basis on which the efficiency tests of a stock market are performed at three distinct levels: weak - form, semi-strong form and strong - form. This magnificent edifice of EMH rests on the Random Walk Theory which contends that all price changes reflect a random departure from previous prices. The weak form of the hypothesis states that prices efficiently reflect all information contained in the past series of stock prices whereas the semi-strong form efficiency contends that security prices factor in publicly available information in the market and that the price changes to new equilibrium levels are reflections of that information. The book checks the weak-form and semi-strong form efficiency of the Indian stock market by examining the behaviour of the stock prices in the Indian stock market after the introduction of the various financial sector reforms using different methodologies. By using NSE data over the period 1998-2005 - the period which witnessed some major crises, scams, intense capital market activities and introduction of many new financial instruments - the study examines the information contents of historical stock price data, quarterly earnings announcements, and stock splits. The book also checks for the presence of the Day-of- the- Week Effect in the Indian stock market and enquires whether the introduction of the various instruments and policy changes have made the Indian stock market weak-form and semi-strong form efficient i.e., whether the efficiency of the stock market has been restored in the post-reforms period compared to the situation in the pre-reform period.
