Tiivistelmä: | Differences in structural characteristic that lead firms of different sizes to react differently to the same economic news are examined. It is found that a small firm portfolio contains a large proportion of marginal firms - firms with low production efficiency and high financial leverage. Two size-matched return indices were constructed to mimic the return behavior of marginal firms. The result is that these return indices are important in explaining the time-series return difference between small and large firms. Risk exposures to these indices are as powerful as logsize in explaining average returns of size-ranked portfolios. |
