Relative to previous work on neglected securities, the results reported are obtained from the use of superior data bases and a more rigorous statistical analysis. The paper proceeds with sections on data and statistical methodology, and an analysis of the neglected firm effect.en-USRequired Publisher Statement: © Wiley. Final version published as: Carvell, S.
