A Cross-Market Examination of the Efficient Market Hypothesis: Evidence from Indian and Global Stock Markets

Rahul Pandey

Subject area: Management and Commerce  ·  Area of research: Finance ? Capital Market Efficiency

Abstract

This research investigates the validity and relevance of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) across both Indian and international financial markets. The EMH suggests that stock prices fully reflect all available information, making it nearly impossible to achieve consistent excess returns. This paper explores the three forms of EMH?weak, semi-strong, and strong?using both historical stock data analysis and event studies. The paper incorporates insights from NSE, BSE, NYSE, and NASDAQ markets to evaluate how information dissemination, investor behaviour, and market efficiency differ across developed and emerging markets. Findings reveal that while some efficiency characteristics exist in both market types, anomalies, behavioural factors, and information asymmetries often challenge EMH, especially in emerging markets.
