This empirical study is conducted to test the weak-form market efficiency of the stock market returns of Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, China, Korea, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippine, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Japan and Australia. Monthly observations are taken for the period January 2004 to December 2009. Autocorrelation, Ljung-Box Q-statistic Test, Runs Test, Unit Root Test and the Variance Ratio are used to test the hypothesis that the stock market follows a random walk. Monthly returns are not normally distributed, because they are negatively skewed and leptokurtic. In aggregate we concluded that the monthly prices do not follows random walks in all the countries of the Asian-Pacific region. The investors can take the stream of benefits through arbitrage process from profitable opportunities across these markets.

The degree to which markets incorporate information is one of the most important questions facing economists today. This book provides a fascinating study of the existence and extent of information efficiency in financial markets, with a special focus on betting markets. Betting markets are selected for study because they incorporate features highly appropriate to a study of information efficiency, in particular the fact that each bet has a well-defined end point at which its value becomes certain. Using international examples, this book reviews and analyses the issue of information efficiency in both financial and betting markets. Part I is an extensive survey of the existing literature, while Part II presents a range of readings by leading academics. Insights gained from the book will interest students of financial economics, financial market analysts, mathematicians and statisticians, and all those with a special interest in finance or gambling.

The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) maintains that all relevant information is fully and immediately reflected in stock prices and that investors will obtain an equilibrium rate of return. The EMH has far reaching implications for capital allocation, stock price prediction, and the effectiveness of specific trading strategies. Equity market anomalies reflect that the market is inefficient and hence, contradicts the EMH. This book gathers both theoretical and practical perspectives, by including research issues, methodological approaches, practical case studies, uses of new policy and other points of view related to equity market efficiency to help address the future challenges facing the global equity markets and economies. Information Efficiency and Anomalies in Asian Equity Markets: Theories and evidence is an insightful resource that will be useful for students, academics and professionals alike.

Empirical evidences in the literature seem not consistent about market efficiency, even for the same market. As some studies consistently accept the existence of efficiency and some reveal rejecting the efficient market hypothesis within the same markets investigated, this paper attempts to explore the extent to which the efficient market hypothesis becomes meaningful, beyond the perspective of different empirical analyses on market efficiency. Hence, this paper explores the empirical investigations carried out in the Asia and Pacific regions, except middle-east countries, to confirm which markets in the study area are efficient. The study demonstrates that the share markets in Thailand, Singapore, Japan and New Zealand are reasonably reflecting the efficiency, not in other countries, as per the reviewed literature by this study.
