Weak form market efficiency: A case study of Asia-Pacific markets

This study aims to test the weak form market efficiency for five developed markets, nine emerging markets and three frontier markets in the Asia-Pacific region. The tools applied in the test of this form of market efficiency are serial correlation test, runs test and unit root test. The analysis is...

description This study aims to test the weak form market efficiency for five developed markets, nine emerging markets and three frontier markets in the Asia-Pacific region. The tools applied in the test of this form of market efficiency are serial correlation test, runs test and unit root test. The analysis is performed by using logarithm return for the period of 2008 to 2018. For all markets in our research, the results strongly reject the weak form efficiency when the unit root tests are carried out, while the results from the Durbin-Watson test are in complete contrast. However, in the runs test and variance ratio test, the results provide mixed evidences of weak form efficiency of the markets
