Abstract: | It is well-documented that differences exist among return distributions of days of the week. Virtually every relevant study has used mean/variance analysis, although the daily return distributions are non-normal. To avoid this error, the authors apply a distribution-free method, namely, stochastic dominance analysis to test for a day-of-the-week effect. The result obtained confirms earlier findings. As a by-product, it is shown that the effects studied were not artifacts deriving from applying inappropriate methods. |
