Book excerpt: Day of the week effect phenomenon is one of the most important calendar anomalies that have been observed in many stock markets in all over the world. This specific phenomenon has been observed and studied by many researchers for many years and as a consequence there are a lot of different results. The present paper aims at examining in a theory level the meaning, the boundaries and the effects of this phenomenon. First of all, we make a short introduction about the day of the week effect phenomenon in general. After that, we present two significant issues: on the one hand the distinction between perfect and imperfect markets, on the other hand the analysis of the efficient market hypothesis. Then we analyze some of the most important calendar anomalies, which have been observed in many stock markets in all over the world and its possible explanations. Finally we analyze more analytically, the day of the week effect phenomenon and its possible explanations.

Book excerpt: This master thesis examines the day-of-the-week effect. The day-of-the-week effect is a stock market anomaly which challenges the Efficient Market Hypothesis, because in an efficient market the returns should be evenly distributed across the weekdays. This comprehensive analysis looks at the day-of-the-week effect from three different points of view: international evidence, size effect and market environment. To test the significance of the results, the Kruskal-Wallis test was applied. The analysis of 26 stock market indices from 1990 to 2011 and two sub-periods (1990-2000 and 2001-2011) gave evidence that the effect still existed in some countries, but diminished over time and was stronger for emerging stock markets. A significant day-of-the-week effect for all three periods analyzed was detected in Chile, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Turkey. The test of the size effect showed that the day-of-the-week effect was stronger for indices with lower capitalized stocks. In addition, this study found evidence that the day-of-the-week effect was more pronounced during times of low implied volatility, however, the results were not significant.

Book excerpt: Encroaching work demands—coupled with domestic chores, overbooked schedules, and the incessant pinging of our devices—have taken a toll on what used to be our free time: the weekend. With no space to tune out and recharge, every aspect of our lives is suffering: our health is deteriorating, our social networks (the face-to-face kind) are dissolving, and our productivity is down. The notion of working less and living more, once considered an American virtue, has given way to the belief that you must be “on” 24/7. Award-winning journalist Katrina Onstad, pushes back against this all-work, no-fun ethos. Tired of suffering from Sunday night letdown, she digs into the history, positive psychology, and cultural anthropology of the great missing weekend and how we can revive it. Onstad follows the trail of people, companies, and countries who are vigilantly protecting their time off for joy, adventure, and most important, purpose. Filled with personal and professional inspiration, The Weekend Effect is a thoughtful, well-researched argument to take back those precious 48 hours, and ultimately, to save ourselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study tests the presence of the day of the week effect on stock market volatility by using the S&P 500 market index during the period of January 1973 and October 1997. The findings show that the day of the week effect is present in both volatility and return equations. While the highest and lowest returns are observed on Wednesday and Monday, the highest and the lowest volatility are observed on Friday and Wednesday, respectively. Further investigation of sub-periods reinforces our findings that the volatility pattern across the days of the week is statistically different.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes two key contributions to empirical finance. First it provides a comprehensive analysis of the Thai stock market. Second it presents an excellent exposition ofhow modem econometric techniques can be utilised to understand a market. The increasing globalisation of the world's financial markets has made our un derstanding of the risk-return relationship in a broader range of markets critical. This is particularly so in emerging markets where market depth and liquidity are major issues. One such emerging market is Thailand. The Thai capital market isof particular interest given that it was the market in which the Asian financial crises commenced. As such an understanding ofthe Thai capital market via study of the pre and post-crisis periods enables one to shed light on one of the major financial markets events of recent times. This book provides a quantitative analysis of the Thai capital market using some very useful and recent econometric techniques. The book provides an over view of the Thai stock market in chapter 2. Descriptive statistics and time series models (moving average, exponential smoothing, ARIMA) are presented in chap ter 3 followed by market efficiency tests based on autocorrelations in chapter 4. A richer set of models is then considered in chapters 5 through 8. Chapter 5 finds a cointegrating relationship between macroeconomic factors and stock returns.
Download or read book The Day of the Week Effect on Stock Market Volatility and Volume written by Hakan Berument and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigates the day of the week effect on the volatility of major stock market indexes for the period of 1988 through 2002. Using a conditional variance framework, we find that the day of the week effect is present in both return and volatility equations. The highest volatility occurs on Mondays for Germany and Japan, on Fridays for Canada and the United States, and on Thursdays for the United Kingdom. For most of the markets, the days with the highest volatility also coincide with that market's lowest trading volume. Thus, this paper supports the argument made by Foster and Viswanathan [Rev. Financ. Stud. 3 (1990) 593] that high volatility would be accompanied by low trading volume because of the unwillingness of liquidity traders to trade in periods of high stock market volatility.
Download or read book The Evolution and Cross Section of the Day of The Week Effect written by Shlomo Zilca and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We study the day of the week effect across size deciles and in three 18-year subperiods. The results show a decline in the magnitude of the day-of-the-week effect, but the effect did not vanish. We find that the decline in the magnitude of the effect is larger in the larger market capitalization deciles. We also find substantial evidence that the day-of-the-week effect is characterized by a pattern of monotonically improving returns during the week, but the pattern is interrupted as market capitalization increases. The behavioral explanation for the day of the week effect, based on monotonically improving mood throughout the week, is therefore a stronger candidate in smaller market capitalization deciles.
Download or read book Day of the Week Effect Revisited written by Mehmet F. Dicle and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this study is to determine whether the DOW effect still exists, and to evaluate empirically the explanations of the DOW effect for international equity markets. Evaluating 51 markets in 33 countries for the period between January, 2000 and December, 2007, reveals that the DOW effect persists for a significant proportion of equity markets. Evaluating open-to-close returns, liquidity, size effect and possible spill-over effects, the DOW effect can be explained for almost of all the exchanges. Individual stock analysis, covering 37,631 stocks traded in 51 equity markets shows that a DOW effect in returns exists for a statistically significant proportion of individual stocks in almost all of the markets in the study. Even markets without a market-level DOW effect contain a surprisingly large proportion of stocks with individual-level DOW effects. Interestingly, this proportion is only marginally lower than that which is found in markets with a market-level DOW effect.
Download or read book Day of The Week Effect in High Moments written by Dan Galai and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence from equity markets worldwide indicates that the Day-of-the-Week anomaly appears to fade from the first moment of the distribution of daily returns. We report highly significant pair-wise weekend effects in high moments when comparing the first and last trading days of the week. The second moment alone appears to distinguish the return distribution of the first trading day from all others. A probable explanation of the phenomena appears to be information dissemination: corporate announcements released after closing of the last trading day of the week spill-over to the opening of the first trading day, increasing its variability and carrying the closing sign.

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.
