Resumo: |
The efficient markets hypothesis is one of most important subjects on finance theory. However, over the last years, with the intensification of the studies and the arise of evidences of existence of abnormal behavior of financial assets return (anomalies), this theory began to be discussed on academic environment. The debate of the subject is still incipient, showing on one side the efficient hypothesis defenders and on the other side the adepts of the behavioral finance tendency. Among the anomalies, the Monday effect and January effect can be detached as two of the most persistent detected on the stock markets of several countries. On this scenario, the purpose of this dissertation is to investigate the existence of the calendar anomalies Monday effect and January effect on the Brazilian stock market. The Monday effect is characterized by lower returns on this day than on the other days of the week. The January effect is described by higher returns on this month than on the other months of the year. In order to verify the Monday effect, the sample used is the Ibovespa dollarizated daily average returns from 1986 to 2006. To investigate the January effect the sample is composed by the Ibovespa dollarizated monthly closing returns from 1969 to 2006. The daily and monthly returns samples were analyzed considering and excluding the atypical returns (outliers). Parametric and non parametric statistical tests were used. The analysis of the results have indicated evidences of existence of the Monday effect, both when the atypical returns were considered and excluded from the database. It has shown also that there are no evidences of existence of the January effect, both when the atypical returns were considered on the database or not |
