The Cross‐Autocorrelation Of Size‐Based Portfolio Returns Is Not An Artifact Of Portfolio Autocorrelation

Abstract

Prior studies find evidence of asymmetric size‐based portfolio return cross‐autocorrelations where lagged large firm returns lead current small firm returns. However, some studies question whether this economic relation is independent of the effect of portfolio return autocorrelation. We formally test for this independence using size‐based portfolios of New York Stock Exchange and American Stock Exchange securities and, separately, portfolios of Nasdaq securities. Results from causality regressions indicate that, across all markets, lagged large firm returns predict current small firm returns, even after controlling for autocorrelation in small firm returns. These cross‐autocorrelation patterns are stronger for Nasdaq securities.
