Summary/Abstract: We test weak form efficiency for the Central and Eastern European stock markets applying runs tests. We investigate the price changes of seven CEE markets (Austria, Hungary, Estonia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia) for the period 1991-2011. In order to make the results for these markets directly comparable with results for other developed markets, Germany, United Kingdom and the USA were also incorporated.
