- Description
- This study examines the day of the week effect anomaly in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE), during the post-crisis period. The Bangladesh stock market crashed on 19 December 2010, and the stock market remained sluggish for a long time. This study used the daily closing prices of two important indexes (DGEN and DSI) during the post-crisis period, from 19 December 2010 to 31 December 2013. Regression statistics model with dummy variables, one-sample T-test statistics, paired-sample T-test statistics and ANOVA (one-way) for parametric test and Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon signed rank test for non-parametric test, have been used to observe the day of the week effect anomaly in DSE. The results revealed irregularities in daily mean returns with different returns volatility during the week. The study provides implications for policy makers to develop appropriate post-crisis policy tools and incentives to re-stabilise the market.
