Does the Size Effect Explain the UK Winner‐Loser Effect?

Gishan Dissanaike

Journal of Business Finance & Accounting, 2002, vol. 29, issue 1‐2, 139-154

Abstract: Dissanaike (1997) found a long‐term winner‐loser effect in the UK, within a sample of large (FT500) companies. However, he did not investigate as to whether there was a size effect within his sample, nor did he check to see if it subsumed his winner‐loser effect. We find evidence of a size effect within the FT500 sample, and the size and winner‐loser effects are not unrelated. But, there is no evidence to suggest that the size effect subsumes the winner‐loser effect.
