This paper investigates the relation between lunar phases and stock market returns of China. The findings indicate that stock returns are lower on the days around a new moon than on the days around a full moon. This pattern of returns is pervasive; we find it for two major Chinese stock indexes over the last 16 years. The author concludes that lunar phases do affect stock returns in china, and the culture is one of the factors which affect investor’s sentiment and behavior and then affect stock returns.
Index Terms:
lunar effect, investor's sentiment, behavioral finance, cultural differences
