This paper focuses on the US in relation to their financial market, and is split into two sections. The first section answers two questions on the free market system, resource allocation, market failure, and government interventions. The first question is “Examine the arguments in favour of a free market system of resource allocation”. The second is “Explain how ‘market failure’ can occur and suggest how the government in a country of your choice has sought to ‘correct’ those market failures”. The second section also answers two questions, but focuses on monetary and fiscal policies in the US economic downturn and the effects of government finances. The first question is “Examine how the government of that country has adjusted its monetary and fiscal policies in response to the world downturn. Explain the reasoning behind these adjustments”. The second question is “Indicate the problems which are created for the government’s finances as a result of it seeking to avoid an even deeper recession.

The study also pays great attention to the overreaction hypothesis. The dissertation begins by presenting the background to the study and to EMH. The aims and rationale behind the study are also presented. The review of literature analyses the works and theory of a wide range of scholars, like Brown, Harlow, and Tinic, Atkins and Dyl, Zarowin, and Dissanaike. Primary data is collected by analysis of empirical data, and the paper focuses on transaction costs and Measurement of Above-average Returns. Secondary data is collected through analysis of the literature mentioned in the review. The methodology highlights the limitations of both forms of research. The finding section looks at the arguments supporting both the EMH and the overreaction hypothesis. Conclusions are made regarding the aim of the research, and an overview of the project and recommendations are made for further research.

C/F/802. Dissertation. Validity of the efficient market hypothesis in the USA during the internet bubble
- WORDS:

- DATE:

- PRICE:
- 109.99 GBP
The aim of the dissertation is to test the validity of the efficient market hypothesis (EMH) in the USA during the dot com bubble that occurred in early 2000’s. While EMH has been proved and rejected for different equity markets in different countries, the study of the US stock market in the period of the dot com crisis revealed that EMH lacked validity since twenty per cent of the companies analysed in this dissertation were not found to have a random walk, which is a necessary condition for validity of EMH and particularly its weak form. The research has been conducted using the autocorrelation analysis and Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test. The findings demonstrate partial validity of the EMH in the US market, but acknowledge that further studies are recommended to be undertaken that would employ different frequency of time series and larger sample of stocks.

C/F/748. Dissertation. Validity of Efficient Market Hypothesis in the USA during the internet bubble
- WORDS:

- 109.99 GBP
The dissertation explains the concept of Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), a theory proposed several decades ago by economists who argued that average investors would not be able to make abnormal returns in the longer run by investing in stocks. This was explained by observations that the behaviour of share prices is random and all information that is currently available to the market is already included in the share price. The research sets out to understand EMH and analyse the reasons for the appearance of the US internet bubble. But the paper also shows in its Literature Review on the subject, how in the 1990s the theory’s assumptions and accuracy were disputed – with academic critiques by Shleifer (1990), Shefrin (1988) and Thaler (1994) cited. The performance of internet companies is examined (the fluctuations of share prices of companies after announcements of dot.com name changes) as is the efficiency of the US market during the internet bubble. A blend of quantitative and qualitative research is used, and secondary statistical data on share prices – in this case a sample of the share values of ten companies.
