Aim/purpose – The aim of this paper is to verify whether extremely high values of market value ratios are the symptoms of informational inefficiency of the market in a weak form. The authors intend to examine whether these phenomena co-occur with each other. Design/methodology/approach – Following Bachelier’s strict random walk model, we quantified a weak-form informational market efficiency with the use of the percentage of normality tests in stock returns run (Expanded Shapiro–Wilk, D’Agostino-Pearson and Jarque–Bera), which indicate that the analyzed distribution is normal (a null hypothesis cannot be rejected). The empirical study was based on the comparison of the market value ratios (P/E and P/BV) and the informational efficiency measure at the level of particular companies, listed on the Main Market and NewConnect of the Warsaw Stock Exchange, and grouped into eight sectors. In order to do this, we analyzed scatterplots, descriptive statistics, Pearson’s and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients. The da-taset covered 214 companies (based on the assumptions made) in the period from 2016, December 31 to 2020, March 23. Findings – Results obtained indicated that, in most cases, the extremely high values of market value ratios did not co-occur with market inefficiency. Hence, the outstandingly high market value ratios do not have to be the symptoms of market inefficiency. Research implications/limitations – Following a common belief shared in the industry, but still not examined yet, this study examines the possible co-occurrence of extremely high market valuation and market inefficiency, but does not exploit it fully. The authors encourage other researchers, especially, to apply other market value ratios and to come up with their own ideas for market efficiency proxies. What is more, this study has been conducted on a relatively small market, thus the conclusions drawn from the study on the WSE should be tested on other, more developed markets. Originality/value/contribution – According to the authors’ knowledge, this study is one of the first trying to examine if the extremely high market value ratios are the symptoms of the informational inefficiency of the market.
Background: In spite of the course of the economic crisis of 2008, there have not been changes dramatic to the extent that they would strongly alter the behaviour of the trend in the Average Gross Monthly Wages and the Monthly Wage Medians in the Czech Republic. In order to support public and monetary planning, reliable forecasts of future salaries are indispensable. Objectives: The aim is to provide an outline of the behaviour of the average gross wages and the gross wage medians of the Czech business sphere up to the end of 2018 using an optimised random walk model and an optimised ARIMA Model with a constant. Methods: Consumer price indices were used in the confrontation of the behaviour of the Average Gross Monthly Wages and the Monthly Wage Medians with the behaviour of inflation in the Czech Republic. The Box-Jenkins methodology is used for the time series modelling. Results: The Czech Average Gross Monthly Wages and the Monthly Wage Medians in the business sector will continue to grow more rapidly than the Czech inflation growth, expressed by consumer price indices. Conclusions: It is possible to expect that the rising trend of the Average Gross Monthly Wages and the Gross Wage Medians will be more rapid than the growth of inflation.
Artykuł porusza problem efektywności aukcji internetowych. Tradycyjne aukcje charakteryzowały się nieefektywnością, ale w dobie rozwoju Internetu i powszechności dostępu do niego powstaje pytanie, czy aukcji internetowych nie należy uznać za efektywne. Nie istnieje bariera geograficzna dla licytujących, którzy posiadają także dostęp do wszelkiego rodzaju informacji dzięki współczesnej technologii. W artykule zweryfikowano postawioną hipotezę na podstawie danych pochodzących z największego serwisu aukcji internetowych w Polsce – Allegro.pl. Do badań wykorzystano wyniki aukcji dla monet kolekcjonerskich.
