Chinese Stock Markets Show Strong Turn-of-the-Month Effect, Indicating Market Inefficiency
The study looked at the "month-of-the-year effect" and "turn-of-the-month effect" in Chinese stock markets. They didn't find a January effect, but they did find that stock returns are higher from the last trading day of the previous month to the sixth trading day of the current month. This suggests that there may be inefficiencies in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets.
