Abstract (Swedish)
Using a volume filter on daily index and stock price data the daily return has been researched.

The volume activity provides additional insights of when a relation between the explanatory variables and the stock return are valid. It also reveals that the relation varies significantly across different volume activity. The most reliable and consistent variables was the oil price and the term spread, both demonstrating a positive relation. The results also revealed that there are... (More)
