Abstract: The random-walk hypothesis of asset prices suggests that prices traded in a market cannot be predicted based on historical information. Employing unsecuritized UK commercial property returns, we analyze this hypothesis. Our results uncover multiple changes in persistence in both aggregate and sectorial data. We discuss some implications for academics, practitioners and regulators.
