Abstract

It was widely reported that a strong value effect exists on the Japanese share market, however research suggests that it disappeared from about 2008. Examination of data on the Russell / Nomura Japan Equity Indexes suggests that the value premium reappeared around 2013 and has become significantly strong since 2021, despite structural and regulatory changes increasing market efficiency and the number of international investors.
