This paper investigates the use of feed forward neural networks for testing the weak form market efficiency. In contrast to approaches that compare out-of-sample predictions of non-linear models to those generated by the random walk model, we directly focus on testing for unpredictability by considering the null hypothesis that a given set of past lags has no effect on current returns. To avoid the data-snooping problem the testing procedure is based on the StepM approach in order to control the familiwise error rate. The procedure is used to test for predictive power in FTSE-MIB index of the italian stock market. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
