Abstract |
|
This study investigates the existence of the day of the week effect in India’s IT sector. The study uses the Daily return data of the Bombay Stock Exchange’s IT Index for the period from September 2005 to March 2015 for analysis. After examining the stationarity of the return series, we specify Descriptive statistics and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) Regression model to find the day of the week effect in stock returns in India. The results confirm the existence of seasonality in stock returns in India and the day of the week effect. The findings also confirm Day of the week effect does exists in Indian BSE IT index. The results of the study imply that the stock market in the Indian automobile sector is inefficient, and hence, investors can time their share investments to improve returns. |
