Information Efficiency and Anomalies in Asian Equity Markets : Theories and evidence

The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) maintains that all relevant information is fully and immediately reflected in a stock price and that an investor will obtain an equilibrium rate of return. This has far reaching implications in terms of capital allocation, stock price predictability, as well as the possibility of any profitable trading strategies that can be used to ‘beat the market’. Equity market anomalies reflect that the market is inefficient and hence, contradicts the EMH. This book gathers both theoretical and practical perspectives related to stock market efficiency to help address the future challenges facing the global stock markets and economies.
