Abstract
This study empirically investigates the presence of non-linearity in the Malaysian stock market,employing the Brock-Dechert-Scheinkrnan (BOS) and Hinich bispeetrum tests. The BOS resultsreveal that the characteristics of the returns series in the Malaysian stock market are driven by non-linear mechanisms. Subsequent application of the Hinich bispectrum test confirms the results ofthe BOS test. The result of the present study has strong implications on the empirical workinvolving the Malaysian stock market as the existence of non-linearity suggests the inappropriatenessof using linear methods for drawing inferences.
