| Abstract: | This paper re-examines the issue of the robustness of the weekday effect. Specifically, by utilizing a quantile regression approach, the homogeneity of observed day-of-the-week anomalies is monitored and tested over different parts of conditional return distribution. The weekday patterns in the returns on the European market index and 18 European country indexes are analyzed for the time period from January 2000 through December 2006. Generally, the sign of the estimated weekday effects in both the conditional mean and volatility seems to be very robust over the return distribution. |
