Abstract

In this paper, we examine empirically the day of the week effect on the Tunisian stock exchange index (TUNINDEX) return and volatility. We use three multivariate General Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity models (GARCH (1,1), EGARCH (1,1) and TGARCH (1,1)) to examine the presence of daily anomalies in the TUNINDEX returns and volatilities during the period from December 31, 1997 to April 07, 2014. The empirical results of GARCH (1,1), EGARCH (1,1) and TGARCH (1,1) model indicate the existence of a significance and positive effect for Thursdays and for the return at (t-1) on the return and volatility of TUNINDEX in a threshold of 1%. Additionally, we find the presence of a significance and negative effect for Tuesday in the TUNINDEX return and volatility. Also, we can show the persistence of volatility in the case of Tunisian stock market index.
