Limit theorems and price changes in financial markets
1998
Abstract We discuss the relation between limit theorems in probability theory and price change statistics in financial markets. An analysis of the published empirical results and theoretical models show that the problem of the statistical properties of price (or index) changes is still open. By using the limit theorems of probability theory and the current assumption that stock prices are well described by martingales, we point out that the probability density function (PDF) of price changes is expected to belong to theclass of infinitely divisible PDFs.
The Speed of Incorporating Information into Prices
2013
Abstract To determine the speed of adjusting asset prices to the latest market information, investors usually resort to semi-strong form efficiency tests. Semi-strong form efficiency is based on the assumption that stock prices adjust rapidly as a result of new public information.

We analyzed the price behaviour of companies listed under Category I of the Bucharest Stock Exchange around events such interim result announcements between June and November 2012.
