World wide security market regularities

Abstract This paper is a brief survey of systematic violations of security market efficiencies in the US, Japan and other world wide equity markets. These security market regulatories or anomalies seem to occur because of cash flow, institutional constraints and policies, investor behavior and sentiment, the slowness of markets to react to new information, the timing of favorable or unfavorable information flows and market maker supply-demand balances and optimal bid-ask spreads. While such anomalies are controversial and difficult to measure precisely as well as being variable over time, the persistence of many of these market regularities is considerable interest to researchers and financial traders.
