The construction of a single European block in the context of financial markets has caused the different national stock exchanges of the euro area to converge towards one common trading calendar that allows to study whether the holiday effect is a pan-European calendar anomaly or country-specific. By applying simulation methods, we provide evidence of the existence of statistically and economically abnormal positive pre- and post-holiday returns in the Eurozone which are not related to higher than average levels of volatility, but which can be explained by the preference of investors to avoid selling around European holidays.
期刊介绍:
The Spanish Journal of Finance and Accounting ( SJFA) is a quarterly academic journal founded in 1972. It aims to publish high quality research papers in accounting and finance. The scope of SJFA covers theoretical and empirical analysis relating to financial markets and institutions, corporate finance, market microstructure, corporate governance, internal and management accounting and a wide spectrum of financial performance and financial reporting, including auditing and public accounting. The Journal welcomes both theoretical and empirical contributions, and in particular, theoretical papers that yield novel testable implications and empirical papers that are theoretically well motivated. The journal is not a suitable outlet for highly abstract mathematical papers or empirical papers with inadequate theoretical motivation. All manuscripts that meet these editorial guidelines are blind reviewed by external reviewers. SJFA sponsors a periodic conference in which selected papers under review are presented and discussed by additional reviewers in order to increase the quality of the papers published in the journal. If accepted for publication, these selected articles are published in the Journal with a special distinction. The Journal welcomes replies and discussions to both published and forthcoming articles. These contributions, if accepted by the editors, may eventually be published jointly with a reply or comment by the authors of the original paper.
