The Efficient Market Hypothesis believes that it is impossible for an investor to outperform the market because all available information is already built into stock prices. However, some anomalies could persist in stock markets while some other anomalies could appear, disappear and re-appear again without any warning. A Special Issue on "Efficiency and Anomalies in Stock Markets" will be devoted to advancements in the theoretical development of market efficiency and anomaly in the Stock Market, as well as applications in Stock Market efficiency and anomalies.

Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 16 (1,7), University of St Andrews (School of Management), course: Research Methods for Finance and Management, language: English, abstract: The size effect is a market anomaly in asset pricing according to the market efficiency theory. According to the current body of research, market anomalies arise either because of inefficiencies in the market or the underlying pricing model must be flawed. Anomalies in the financial markets are typically discovered form empirical tests. These tests usually rely jointly on one null hypothesis H0= markets are efficient AND they perform according to a specified equilibrium model (usually CAPM). Thus, if the empirical study rejects the H0, the reason could either be due to market inefficiency or due to the incorrect model. Market efficiency theory says that the price of an asset fully reflects all current information and is not predictable (Fama 1970). Fama (1997) states that market anomalies, even long‐term anomalies, are not an indicator for market inefficiencies due to the reason that they randomly split between “underreaction and overreaction, (so) they are consistent with market efficiency” (p. 284), they happen by chance and it is always possible to beat the market by chance. This essay will give an overview of the literature of the size effect and will stress the key theories, empirical methods and findings, as well as the existing body of research about this particular anomaly.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 2:1 (68%), Northumbria University, course: Business with Financial Management, language: English, abstract: Virtual and computer games are rapidly increasing with the introduction of the smartphone and the app stores across multiple platforms and devices with an increase in games with virtual economies. This dissertation will analyse the efficient market hypothesis, along with commonly known anomalies and information announcements. It will find out whether there are market inefficiencies in virtual games in the form of anomalies, more specifically the intra-day effect. The intra-day effect anomaly is one of many critiques of the efficient market hypothesis and there have been many studies conducted into the intra-day effect. Most research on the intra-day effect anomaly is concerning real world markets and the results have contradicted one another. This study looks at the price change movements of 118 randomly quota sampled player cards within the market of FIFA Ultimate Team. Statistical analysis in the form of mean, standard deviation, and coefficients of variances tests were carried out to identify if there were any market anomalies and reactions to information announcements. A strong correlation between market inefficiencies, anomalies, and information announcements had been discovered within the research of the virtual market in FIFA Ultimate Team. The study actually found that because of an information announcement overreaction and an intra-day effect, at a specific time during a Wednesday, a player could sell their card for potentially 233% more than what they could have an hour earlier. This research study in turn supports that market anomalies do exist in games but it was also discovered that the market is semi-strong form efficient in its reaction post-information announcement.

Master's Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Banking, Stock Exchanges, Insurance, Accounting, grade: 1,3, RWTH Aachen University (Faculty of Business and Economics), course: Corporate Finance, language: English, abstract: In order to fill a gap in the research on developing equity markets, especially emerging markets, this study deals with market anomalies in the BRIC countries, specifically focusing on identifying the anomalies size and price-to-book effect. However, the reason for an analysis regarding stock market anomalies in the BRIC countries is not exclusively limited to the lack of contemporary studies on this topic. The emerging markets in general, and, specifically, the BRIC stock markets are very interesting and valuable objects for respective examinations, since they still provide an enormous growth potential. The markets naturally show a high volatility. This study’s approach is to explain the established market anomalies and point at factors, which may enforce size and price-to-book effects in each BRIC country. Therefore, after presenting the BRIC concept in chapter 2, the standard method to estimate the stock return, the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), is introduced in chapter 3 in order to identify possible weaknesses and certain anomalies, which have been identified in the research. The most common anomalies will be introduced in chapter 4. Subsequently, an alternative method to explain the stock return, the Fama / French three-factor model is discussed as a possibility to identify further risk factors, which can invalidate anomalies with respect to the CAPM, in chapter 5. Furthermore, a brief overview on previous studies, which include valuation anomalies in the respective countries, is given in chapter 6. In the empirical part of chapter 7, each country is analyzed individually with respect to size and price-to-book effects. However, the study applies the same empirical analysis for each stock market in order to obtain comparable results, choosing a timespan, which covers the maximum period for which sufficient data is available in all stock markets. Two approaches are used per country. The first, to identify the mentioned stock market anomalies, the second to explain the cross-section of stock returns by means of three proxies for risk, namely systematic risk in form of CAPM-beta, size and book-to-market equity ratio. The empirical part of this examination investigates the time frame from January 1996 until June 2015 and uses a total sample of 6,054 stocks throughout the four stock markets. In the conclusion, the study’s results are summarized and findings presented.

In an efficient market, all stocks should be valued at a price that is consistent with available information. But as financial expert Singal points out, there are circumstances under which certain stocks sell at a price higher or lower than the right price. Here he discusses ten such anomalous prices and shows how investors might--or might not--be able to exploit these situations for profit.

For 50 years, financial experts have regarded the movements of markets as a random walk, and this hypothesis has become a cornerstone of modern financial economics. Lo and MacKinlay put the random walk hypothesis to the test in this volume, which elegantly integrates their most important articles.

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.
