2 Introduction Testing for Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets = Testing for Unpredictability of Stock Returns (cf. Fama, 1970) x IID x MDS White Noise x x Many applications cf. Lim and Brooks (2009) Only few applications REASON: It is hard to establish a formal white noise test. BREAKTHROUGH: Shao s (2010, 2011) dependent wild bootstrap. This paper tests for the white noise hypothesis of stock returns, using the dependent wild bootstrap. A rejection of the white noise hypothesis might serve as helpful information for arbitragers, because it indicates the presence of non-zero autocorrelations at some lags.

3 Introduction Dependent Wild Bootstrap (Shao, 2010; Shao, 2011) Adaptive Market Hypothesis (cf. Lo, 2004; Lo, 2005) Full Sample Shao (2010): Temperature Shao (2011): Stock returns Rolling Window New! PERIODICITY IN CONFIDENCE BANDS REASON: Fixed block size produces similar bootstrapped autocorrelations in every windows. REMEDY: Randomizinga block size across bootstrap samples and windows. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
4 Introduction Daily S&P 500 White noise hypothesis is often rejected during Iraq War and the subprime crisis. We observe significantly negative autocorrelations during crisis periods. cf. Fama and French (1988) Campbell et al. (1993) Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22

6 Review of Dependent Wild Bootstrap Consider full sample analysis as a benchmark. Consider covariance stationary {y 1,..., y n }. Assume E[y t ] = 0 for notational simplicity. Population quantities: γ(0) = E[y 2 t ], γ(h) = E[y t y t h ], ρ(h) = γ(h) γ(0). Sample quantities: ˆγ n (0) = 1 n n yt 2, ˆγ n (h) = 1 n t=1 n t=h+1 y t y t h, ˆρ n (h) = ˆγ n(h) ˆγ n (0). Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
7 Review of Dependent Wild Bootstrap White noise hypothesis is that ρ(h) = 0 for all h 1. Naïve approach: Box and Pierce s (1970) asymptotic χ 2 test n L ˆρ 2 n(h) d χ 2 L. h=1 This is not a white noise test but an IID test, because the asymptotic χ 2 property requires an IID assumption. Example: Box-Pierce test rejects GARCH, a well-known example of non-iid MDS, with probability 1 asymptotically. We do not want to reject GARCH, because it is white noise. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
8 Review of Dependent Wild Bootstrap A formal white noise test requires Shao s (2010, 2011) dependent wild bootstrap. To describe how it works, fix lag length h and consider testing for ρ(h) = 0. How can we construct a confidence band for ˆρ n (h)? Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
9 Review of Dependent Wild Bootstrap 1 Set a block size b n (typically b n = n). 2 Generate iid {ξ 1, ξ 2,..., ξ n/bn }. Define an auxiliary variable: ω = [ ξ 1,..., ξ 1, ξ 2,..., ξ 2,..., ξ n/bn,..., ξ n/bn ]. }{{}}{{}}{{} b n terms b n terms b n terms 3 Compute a bootstrapped autocorrelation: ˆρ (dw) n (h) = 1 ˆγ n (0) 1 n n t=h+1 ω t [y t y t h ˆγ n (h)]. 4 Repeat Steps 2-3 M times and sort ˆρ (dw) n,(1) (h) < < ˆρ(dw) n,(m) (h). 5 The 95% confidence band is C(h) = [ˆρ (dw) n,(0.025m) (h), ˆρ(dw) n,(0.975m) (h)]. 6 If ˆρ n (h) C(h), then we do not reject ρ(h) = 0. If ˆρ n (h) / C(h), then we reject ρ(h) = 0. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
10 Review of Dependent Wild Bootstrap Block 1 Block 2 Block 3 Block 20 y 1 y 2, y 2 y 3 Generate i.i.d. random numbers ξ 1,, ξ 20 ~ N(0, 1) y 3 y 4, y 4 y 5, y 5 y 6 y 6 y 7, y 7 y 8, y 8 y 9 y 57y 58, y 58y 59, y 59y 60 ξ 1 ξ 2 ξ 3 ξ 20 Compute bootstrapped autocorrelation Repeat M times Construct confidence band Examle: h = 1; n = 60; b n = 3. Preserved dependence within each block. No dependence across different blocks. Asymptotically correct size and consistency under weak dependence (e.g. GARCH, bilinear). Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
11 Hidden Pitfall: Periodic Confidence Bands Now consider rolling window analysis. Suppose that window size is n = 60 and block size is b n = 3. In window #1 (y 1,..., y 60 ), we have [ y 1 y 2, y 2 y 3, y 3 y 4, y 4 y 5, y 5 y 6, y 6 y 7, y 7 y 8, y 8 y 9,..., y 57 y 58, y 58 y 59, y 59 y 60 ]. }{{}}{{}}{{}}{{} Block 1 ( ξ 1 ) Block 2 ( ξ 2 ) Block 3 ( ξ 3 ) Block 20 ( ξ 20 ) In window #4 (y 4,..., y 63 ), we have [ y 4 y 5, y 5 y 6, y 6 y 7, y 7 y 8, y 8 y 9,..., y 57 y 58, y 58 y 59, y 59 y 60, y 60 y 61, y 61 y 62, y 62 y 63 ]. }{{}}{{}}{{}}{{} Block 20 ( ξ Block 1 ( ξ 1 ) Block 2 ( ξ 2 ) Block 19 ( ξ 19 ) 20 ) Similar bootstrapped autocorrelations appear in windows #1, #4, #7,.... = Periodicity with b n = 3 cycles. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
12 Hidden Pitfall: Periodic Confidence Bands y 1,..., y 71 i.i.d. N(0, 1). Window size is n = 60. There are = 12 windows. Block size is b n = 3. We plot ˆρ n (1) and 95% confidence band for each window. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
13 Remedy: Randomized Block Size Block size is b n = [c n]. Conventional choice that c = 1 produces periodicity. We propose to draw c U(1 δ, 1 + δ) independently across rolling windows and bootstrap samples. Randomness across windows removes periodicity. Randomness across bootstrap samples reduces the volatility of confidence bands. We naïvely choose δ = 0.5 (i.e. c U(0.5, 1.5)). Open question: optimal choice of δ. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
14 Remedy: Randomized Block Size Illustrative Example: y 1, y 2,..., y 400 i.i.d. N(0, 1). Window size is n = 240. There are = 161 windows. Block size is b n = [c n] = [c 240] = [c 15.5]. We choose either c = 1 or c U(0.5, 1.5). We plot ˆρ n (1) and 95% confidence band for each window. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
15 Remedy: Randomized Block Size a. c = 1 b. c U When c = 1, confidence bands have clear periodicity. When c U(0.5, 1.5), the periodicity evaporates dramatically. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22

17 Autocorrelations at Lag Jan05 Jan Iraq Subprime Jan05 Jan10 AA+ a. c = 1 b. c U Window size is n = 240 (roughly a year). Block size is b n = [c n] = [c 15.5]. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
18 Cramér-von Mises White Noise Test White noise requires that ρ(h) = 0 for all h 1. Following Shao (2011), we use the Cramér-von Mises statistic: { π n 1 } 2 C n = n ˆγ n (h)ψ h (λ) dλ, ψ h (λ) = sin(hλ) 0 hπ. h=1 Bootstrapped p-values are computed based on the dependent wild bootstrap (with a randomized block size). Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
19 P-Values of Cramér-von Mises Test Jan05 Jan10 P-values over rolling windows. S&P has significant autocorrelations during Iraq War and the subprime mortgage crisis. Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.) Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Markets September 10-11, / 22
20 Conclusions 1. Outline Test for white noise hypothesis of stock returns Perform rolling window analysis with dependent wild bootstrap 2. Contributions Find that a fixed block size results in periodic confidence bands Reveal that the periodicity stems from repeated block structures Propose randomizing a block size to remove the periodicity 3. Empirical Finding White noise hypothesis is rejectedfor S&P during crisis periods -- Significantly negative autocorrelations at lag 1 Hill & Motegi (UNC & Kobe U.)
