Zusammenfassung:This paper investigates the lead/lag relationship between the returns ofa countrys stock market index and 10 primary sector index returns. The sample consists of the Group of Seven (G-7) industrialized countries from January 1974 through December 2003. .

No sector is consistently significant across countries. The results ofthis study support the gradual information diffusion hypothesis: information travels slowly between asset classes.
