EMH claims that market totally contains the available information. In case of EMH, valid investors who take position will not gain abnormal profits. If the efficiency can not be established, that is, if markets are not efficient, investors will have the opportunity of abnormal profits. This paper investigates the causality relations to determine validity of EMH among G7 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States) countries' stock exchange markets for the period from July 2003 to October 2014. To find out whether the variables cause each other or not provides knowledge about the market efficiency. The implication of this analysis is twofold. One implication is that if the markets are informationally efficient, the possibility of abnormal returns through arbitrage is ruled out and investors can reduce the risk of their investment for the same expected returns, if they establish portfolios that consist of both markets rather than consisting of only one market. Based on this, Hacker-Hatemi-J. bootstrap causality test that is newer and has many advantages contrary to other tests was used. Results showed that EMH is valid among each G7 countries' stock exchange markets. Also portfolio diversification benefits exist among these markets.展开更多

Variance ratio test is used to evaluate the Efficient Market Hypothesis(EMH) in China's carbon trading markets. The results of two versions of variance ratio tests indicate that the carbon trading market in Hubei is considered weak form efficient, and the socialist market economy does not necessarily lead to market inefficiency in carbon trading markets. Thin trading activities generate market frictions and bias the Efficient Market Hypothesis(EMH) tests.展开更多

The Hurst exponents of the stock indices and of all stocks listed in the Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges are estimated. The results show that the changes of indices and stocks in the last period have positive impact in the next period in the short run, but this impact disappears for long time.展开更多

Efforts to justify the selection of trading rules by assessing the out-of-sample performance will not really remedy this predica- ment either, because they are prone to be trapped in what is known as the out-of-sample data-snooping bias. Our approach to curb the data-snooping bias consists of constructing a framework for trading rule selection using a-priori robustness strategies, where robustness is gauged on the basis of time- series bootstrap and multi-objective criteria. This approach focuses thus on building robustness into the process of trading rule selection at an early stage, rather than on an ex-post assessment of trading rule fitness. Intra-day FX market data constitute the empirical basis of the proposed investigations. Trading rules are selected from a wide universe created by evolutionary computation tools. The authors show evidence of the benefit of this approach in terms of indirect forecasting accuracy when investing in FX markets.展开更多
