Over the whole period, country effects are more important than industry effects. During the last two years, the research shows that country effects are decreasing while industry effects are increasing, especially for global commodity, telecommunication services, media, and technology industries. The results also suggest that the industry effect is more important for large-cap than small-cap companies. ER -
