This study examines the nominal price anomaly in the Vietnamese stock market, that is, whether stocks with low nominal price outperform stocks with high nominal price. Using a sample of all 351 companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) from June 2009 to March 2018, we confirm our hypothesis and document that cheaper stocks yield higher subsequent abnormal returns. The results are robust after controlling for various stock characteristics that have been documented to be value-relevant in prior literature, including firm size, book-to-market ratio, intermediate-term momentum, short-term reversal, skewness, market risk, idiosyncratic risk, illiquidity and extreme daily returns, using both the portfolio analysis and the Fama-MacBeth cross-sectional regression. The negative effect persists in the long term (i.e., after up to 12 months), implying a slow adjustment of stock prices to their intrinsic value. Further analysis show that the observed nominal price anomaly is mainly driven by mispricing but not a latent risk factor proxied by stock price, thus the observed anomaly reflects a mispricing but not a fundamental risk. The study highlights the irrational behaviour of investors and market inefficiency in the Vietnamese stock market and provides important implication for investors in the market.

The study investigates the impact of accrual anomaly on stock return ratio of listed firms in Vietnam. Data were collected from listed firms for the period from 2008 to 2018. To learn about the causes of accrual anomaly in returns and future rate of returns on the Vietnamese stock market, this research is based on accrual analysis of Richardson, Sloan, Soliman, and Tuna (2006) on growth and effective components. We employ GLS regression model for examining the impact of accrual anomaly on stock return ratio and T-test for checking the difference between the lowest and the highest portfolio. The results show that accounting distortion is the main factor impacting the stock return, not growth determinant. Both two determinants of accounting distortion and growth contribute the explanation of the impact of accrual anomaly on profit and future stock return ratio. Experimental evidence confirms an abnormal existence of accrual in the Vietnam stock market. Aggregate accrual is negatively correlated with future operating profit and future stock return. However, after considering the factors contributing to the impact of future profitability and return on stock returns, the study results show that accounting distortion can account for low sustainability of income that is not growth.

In this paper, we investigate the performance of anomaly factors in Asia-Pacific Stock market and show the higher Sharpe ratio of the volatility managed smart beta portfolio. The smart beta portfolio combines the benefit of passive strategy and active strategy. However, the smart beta portfolios are seems to be exposed to the risk of anomaly factors from the perspective of traditional financial equilibrium model. Therefore, the smart beta strategy may generate negatively skewed returns unappealing to investors having lower risk tolerance. Our empirical investigations find that the return of the Asia-Pacific region stock market is more volatile than other regions with the lower efficiency ratio. However, the value factor and the momentum factor of Asia-Pacific region both show good performances. More interestingly, we also find that managing the volatility of the momentum factor in Asia-Pacific stock market almost doubles the efficiency ratio.

The purpose of this paper is to examine a financial distress premium in the emerging market. A risk-return trade-off of negative book equity (NBE) and distress firms is empirically analyzed using data from the Stock Exchange of Thailand. This research employs Ohlson's (1980) bankruptcy model as a measurement of distress risk. The results indicate that distress firms outperform solvent firms in the Thai market and deny distress anomaly often found in the developed market. Fama-Frech (1993) three-factor model and Carhart (1997) four-factor model verify the existence of a distress premium in the Thai capital market. Risk-seeking investors demand greater compensation for bearing risks of distress firms' going concern. This paper provides fresh evidence that default risk is a significant explanatory factor in pricing stocks in the emerging market. Also, this study sheds light on the role of NBE firms in asset pricing. Most studies eliminate NBE firms from their sample. However, NBE firms yield superior average cross-sectional returns, albeit with higher volatility. Investors are rewarded with distress risks associated with NBE firms. The outperformance of NBE firms is statistically significant when compared to the overall market. The NBE premium disappears when factoring size, value, and momentum in time-series analysis.

This paper examines the existence of value premium in the Chinese stock markets and empirically provides its explanation. Our results suggest that the value premium does exist in the Chinese markets, and investor sophistication is significant in explaining its existence. In particular, there is supporting evidence that the value premium could be driven by individual investors, whereas stocks that are mostly held by institutional investors are value-premium free. We briefly discuss the implications of our findings.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the three anomalies phenomena that appear in the initial public offerings(IPOs) market. Of them, the first anomaly is that the new issues are underpriced in the short-run. Secondly, the hot issue market phenomenon appears. Thirdly, in the long-run, the initial public offerings of equities are overpriced. These phenomena have been documented by Inany studies using the us stock market data. In particular, we will investigate whether these three anomalies also appear in the UK new issues market. Firstly, the underpricing phenomenon of initial public offerings in the short-run will be examined. Then the long-run performance of new issues will be examined using cross-sectional and time-series analysis. Finally, we will briefly examine the existence of the hot issue market in the uk IPOs market.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine whether the change of settlement procedures have an impact on the distribution of day of the week effect in the UK and French markets or not. U.K and France changed their systems from fixed settlement date systems to fixed settlement lag systems Design/methodology/approach - This study adopted the data of the specific stock market indices such as FTSE 100 in the U.K market and FRCAC 40 in the French market, This study constructs a test of the differences in mean returns across the days of the week by computing the regression equations for each country index. Findings - First, this study found that the evolving settlement procedures in stock exchanges have an effect on stock return of day of the week. Second, long-run improvements in market efficiency may have diminished the effects of certain anomalies in recent periods. Improvements in market efficiency and evolving settlement systems may cause the disappearance of the weekend effect. Research implications or Originality - The Implication of this study is that recent settlement systems contributed to the disappearance of the weekend effect and explains improvements in market efficiency and diminishments of market anomaly. This study may be the first study which examines whether evolving settlement systems have an effect on the disappearance of the weekend effect in the market or not.

본 연구는 국내 복승식 베팅자료를 통해 경마 베팅시장의 비효율성 문제를 분석하고 있다. 국내 비선호마 역설 현상과 위험 선호적 태도는 객관적 우승확률과 주관적 우승확률 간 유의한 차이에서 기인되며, 이는 잘못된 가격책정의 시장 비효율성과 밀접한 관련이 있음을 논의하였다. 또한 한계배당률 정보를 활용한 적중함수를 추정했고, 이에 기반된 복승식 베팅 시뮬레이션을 시행한 결과를 추가 논의하였다. 국내 복승식 베팅자료에 대한 비선호마 역설 현상 분석결과와 두 효용함수의 추정결과는 위험 선호적 결과를 일정부분 시사하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 사람들이 국내 복승식 베팅시장에서 수익률의 분산이 상대적으로 높은 비선호 베팅조에 대한 베팅을 선호하고 있었음을 의미한다. 전체 7개의 베팅전략 중 무려 4개의 베팅전략에서 시장 기대수익률 이상의 추가 수익이 발생 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 그 중 3개의 베팅전략에서는 최상위 베팅조 구간의 실제 수익률을 훨씬 상회하는 초과 수익이 관찰되었고, 이러한 결과는 국내 경마 베팅시장의 비효율적 측면을 재확인시켜주는 것으로 해석된다. 본 연구에서는 스마트정보로서 한계배당률 변수를 발굴하고 이를 정보 제공과 연계하는 과정을 제시하였다는데 얼마간의 긍정성을 가진다. 한계배당률의 적중함수를 통해 핵심적이지만 아직 공개되지 않은 정보의 비대칭성 문제가 완화될 수 있다. 또한 스마트정보의 적극적 활용은 객관적 우승확률이 상대적으로 낮음에도 불구하고 단지 고배당률 수치에 유인되는 사행성 문제의 해소에도 도움이 될 수 있다.

The study aims to investigate the impact of seasonality in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries' share market during the month of Ramadan. It helps in finding the opportunities for stock market investors to earn abnormal (returns) gain by investing during Ramadan in GCC stock markets. This study uses stock returns data of GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Dubai, and UAE) from January 2004 to November 2019. Stock prices indexes of GCC stock markets have been obtained from Datastream. The ARCH-GARCH model is used to study the impact of the Ramadan month on the return and volatility of the stock market in GCC countries. The results showed that the Ramadan month has a significant impact on share market prices in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. However, Ramadan has an insignificant impact on share market prices in Bahrain and Oman. The study found no evidence of serial correlational between residuals in Kuwait; meaning that stock return was not dependent on the prior stock returns in Kuwait, therefore, we cannot go for forecasting. The ARCH-LM test statistic for Qatar does not fulfill the requirement of a good regression model; therefore, we cannot go for forecasting or testing the hypothesis of Qatar.

최근 우리나라는 주5일 근무제가 확대 실시되면서 여가가 많아지는 한편 각 업종별 소매점포에서의 요일별 매출도 예전과는 다른 양상을 보이고 있다. 특히 이론적으로 설명할 수 없는 요일별 수요 패턴이 체계적이고 지속적으로 나타나는 것을 요일효과라고 하는데, 요일 마케팅 관점에서 볼 때 어느 소매업종에서의 요일효과 존재여부와 그 크기를 체계적으로 파악하는 것은 소매업의 마케팅에 있어 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 남성복 소매시장에서도 요일효과가 존재 하는지의 여부와 만일 존재 한다면 각 요일별 그 차이는 어떠한가를 알아보고자 하는 목표로 수행되었다. 그러나 요일효과 등의 이상현상에 관한 마케팅차원의 연구가 전무하여 주로 재무관리 등의 분야에서 이루어진 연구결과를 토대로 본 연구에서는 우선 개별 수요를 변화시키는 일반적 수요이론과 주식시장에서의 요일효과에 관한 선행연구 등을 토대로 이상현상에 대한 이론적 배경을 고찰 하여 소매유통시장에서의 적용가능성을 탐색하였다. 실증분석에 있어서는 국내 남성복 소매업체인 P사의 과거 5년간 매출 자료를 토대로 데이터 정제와 통계처리를 통하여 요일효과를 분석하였다. 연구결과 남성복 소매시장에 있어서도 요일효과는 존재하며, 월요일에서 일요일로 갈수록 양(+)의 요일효가를 보이고 있으며, 또한 요일효과는 계절별로 각각 다르게 나타나는 것으로 파악되었다. 본 연구는 소매업을 경영하는 기업들이 보다 효율적인 소매점포 운영방안을 강구할 수 있는데 유익한 시사점이 제공되리라 기대한다.
