In present study, I make an effort to shed light on the actual mechanism of autocorrelations in individual stocks' opening returns. I analyze intraday price data on thirty stocks currently making up the Dow Jones Industrial Index. Employing the sample average and the sample median of opening...

In present study, I analyze the actual mechanism of autocorrelations in individual stocks' opening returns. For Dow Jones Industrial Index constituents, I document that if the previous day's market and individual stock's opening returns are taken together to explain the stock's opening returns,...

In present study, I explore the dynamics of the interday stock price reversals. Employing intraday price data on thirty stocks currently making up the Dow Jones Industrial Index, I document that stock returns in opening trading sessions tend to be higher following days with relatively low...

In present study, I explore intraday behavior of stock prices. In particular, I try to shed light on the relationship between the widely-documented U-shaped intraday pattern of stock returns (e.g., Wood et al. (1985), Jain and Joh (1988), Pagano et al. (2008)) and the well-known concept of stock...

The aim of this paper is to obtain some statistical properties about runs of daily returns of ISE30, ISE50 and ISE100 indices and compare these results with the empirical stylized facts of developed stock markets. In this manner, all time historical daily closing values of these indices are...

This paper assesses the evolving efficiency status of Southeast Asian (SEA) 'tiger cub' stock markets. The weak-form efficient market hypothesis (EMH) is examined using daily price index data and variance ratio tests from 2000 to 2012. We also explore two diverse sub-periods of economic activity...

The paper examines stock market behaviour on days preceding and succeeding the announcement of a change in the monetary policy stance. Market's plausible reactions are tested using nonparametric statistics. The tests reveals that there is no systematic pattern in its reaction, neither towards...

In this article we propose a method for testing nonstationary cycles in financial time series data. We use a procedure that permits us to test unit root cycles in raw time series. The test has several distinguishing features compared with other procedures. In particular, it has a standard null...
