Among them there is the day – of – the – week effect, which consists in significant differences from the average returns on some days of the week than others.

Our analysis is based on the BET index and on the returns of all the stocks traded in BET during the first semester of 2009. The tendency of the Bucharest Stock Market to display systematic patterns of certain day of the week is studied by regressions with dummy variables for the working days of a week. The results indicate a significant Thursday effect for BET and for most of the ten stocks Keywords: Romanian Stock Market; Seasonality; Thursday Effect (search for similar items in EconPapers) Published in The Proceedings of the 15th International Conference “The Knowledge-Based Organization”, Sibiu 26-28 November 2009 Economic Sciences.3/2009(2009): pp. 164-169 Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:pra:mprapa:41749 Access Statistics for this paper More papers in MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany Ludwigstraße 33, D-80539 Munich, Germany.
