Notes:
Autocorrelation in market model residuals affects the estimate of market risk measured by beta. Correction for autocorrelation can substantially change the estimate of beta for some common stocks. In view of the importance of beta estimates in financial research and investment practice, an examination is undertaken in this paper of the prevalence of autocorrelation and two of its causes. The evidence indicates that negative autocorrelation affects estimates of beta for a large number of stocks. In addition, negative autocorrelation is most prevalent among thinly traded and low-priced stocks.
