Bluenext market is the largest and most liquide one. The aim of this study is to investigate the weak-form efficiency of this market. The EUAs ( European Union Allowances) have been traded in two phases since 2005 in Bluenext market. Related to several structural breaks in the time series 4 parametric tests employed to investigate the stationarity of data. ADF test, the most routin method, showed that the time series is non-stationary. The three other tests namely Perron, ZA and KPSS tests the data considering its structural breaks and confirmed the first test and showed that the time series has a unit root and follows the Random Walk hypothesis, hence the market indicate the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Keywords: cap and trade markets; weak-form efficient market hypothesis; Bluenext; structural breaks; stationary; unit root; Random Walk hypothesis. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ÖZ: Bu tez çalışması “Bluenext” piyasasındaki “zayıf verimli piyasa” hipotezini test etmeyi hedeflemektedir.
