Note(s): 1. This table presents daily return results of Chow–Denning tests (test of Martingale hypothesis). Results for developed markets are shown on the top, whilst those for emerging markets are shown below

2. The presented statistics are Max |z| with probability approximation using studentized maximum modulus with parameter value 4 and infinite degrees of freedom

3. All the test statistics are statistically significant (different from 1), using a critical value of 2.49 (panel A) and using the confidence intervals calculated with the Wild Bootstrapping method (panel B). The results strongly reject the null hypothesis of a martingale across all markets
