The objective of this paper is to re-examine the weak-form efficiency of 10 Asian emerging stock markets. Using a battery of nonlinearity tests, the statistical results reveal that all the returns series still contain predictable nonlinearities even after removing linear serial correlation from...

On a country-by-country basis, the results demonstrate...

Given that the efficiency of the Chinese stock markets was empirically examined in extant literature using statistical tests that are designed to uncover linear correlations of price changes, the obtained statistical inferences of efficiency/inefficiency are on very shaky grounds as highlighted...
