Abstract

This paper examine the recent evolution of seasonal anomalies in the American stock market. This study was based on daily data from the Russell 3000 index over the 2000-2015 period. We examine the recent evolution of the week effect and the monthly effect, and we investigate seasonal patterns in economically favourable times and unfavourable times. We use a UCM model and ARCH model. We find evidence for fixed seasonality with a positive and significant monthly effect. Our study confirms January and December effects to the values of the Russell 3000 index, but we don¡¯t find evidence of the day of the week effect.
