The behavior of UK stock prices and returns: is the market efficient?

Article Abstract:

An evaluation of UK stock market efficiency using the Campbell-Shiller VAR methodology resulted to the rejection of efficiency under the null that supports expected returns are constant or that they are dependent on the safe rate of interest. However, two frameworks carry the assumption that equilibrium returns are dependent on time-varying risk premiums. The analysis also supports the existence of short-termism even though there is relaxation of a major assumption regarding time-variant discount rate.

Market segmentation and stock price behavior

Article Abstract:

Rejection of the efficient markets hypothesis based on aggregate data in studies of aggregate stock market indices may clearly be due to mis-pricing in only a sub-sector of the market. A study was therefore conducted to test the efficiency of five industry sub-sectors of the UK stock market using vector autoregression methodology developed by scholars in previous research. This methodology furnishes a tractable framework within which the issues of market efficiency and market segmentation may be addressed.
