Abstract: | The study gives a framework and some empirical evidence to evaluate the significance of problems in inference that arise in stock-return-based investigations when the data are cross- sectionally dependent. The author seeks to identify characteristics of the research context that determine the amount of bias arising when cross- sectional dependence is ignored. As a byproduct, conflicting statements of the literature are reconciled and two empirical studies complement the theoretical investigation. |
