Abstract

The Friday the 13th anomaly of Kolb & Rodriguez (1987) is revisited in an international context. Using the FTSE world indices over 1988-200, for 19 countries, it is found that there is some evidence that returns on Friday the 13th are statistically different from, and generally greater than, returns on other Friday returns.

Keywords: International, Friday the 13th, stock markets, efficiency
