  • Though often controversial, British investment has long played an important role in American economic development. But one sector where British capital has found a home is agriculture, where such investment has taken many forms in many places. In this essay Professor McFarlane looks at various land investments that Britons made in the North Central states, particularly Nebraska, during the last decades of the nineteenth and the first decades of the twentieth century, a time when there was a general agricultural boom in the cornhusker state, albeit one sandwiched around various business contractions. In his remarks McFarlane not only examines British strategies of investment but also quantifies its extent and its longterm return. To a degree his conclusions dispel some of the concerns and controversies that attended the flow of British capital into western lands.

  • Empirical studies in finance generally use data defined over the shortest return period available. Originally, data bases such as CRSP, tended to have data collected over monthly periods and most analyses tended to use monthly data rather than data compounded over periods greater than a month with the implicit argument that the more data the “better”. Since the development of data bases with data collected over shorter differencing intervals, there has been a growing tendency in finance to use returns data defined over increasingly shorter differencing intervals. This development is desirable, but is not without problems. The problem with using data defined over shorter differencing intervals is that, although greater estimating efficiency will be achieved, nontrading effects could be introduced into the analysis. These will lead to biased beta estimators and biases in tests of capital market efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to investigate, analytically, the interrelation of the intervaling and nontrading effects both in estimating beta factors and in testing capital market efficiency.
