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.
