Abstract
Understanding the behavior of markets requires understanding not just the level of return but also its dynamics. The speed at which abnormal returns dissipate is one useful indicator of the competitive process. We model for US and Japanese firms the process of competition as reflected in the persistence of abnormal returns. While we find a similar aggregate distribution of firm persistence in both countries, we observe crossβnational differences manifesting themselves in terms of interβcountry differences in industry persistence. We find that both industryβ and firmβspecific factors influence firm persistence. Copyright Β© 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
