Abstract
This paper examines the informational market efficiency in the Islamic and conventional markets in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. It aims to investigate whether Islamic markets would be more or less efficient than the conventional ones. Findings indicate that both Dow Jones Islamic Market GCC and Dow Jones GCC Indexes show characteristics of random walk. However, we find an impact of market illiquidity variable on Islamic stock prices but with small extent compared with conventional banking sectors. It is also observed that investor sentiment takes a large explanatory power in the explanation of the stock prices for both Islamic and conventional banking sectors.
