The Social Science Research Network is an excellent source of academic papers regarding many different topics. Don't be misled by the Social Science name, as the site has many financial and investing related papers.
Over the next week or so, I will post a list of the top ten downloaded financial or investing related papers. Some of them are classics and some may be a little surprising. Most of them are free to download as well.
This article is the fourth most downloaded paper related to a financial or investing topic.
Value Versus Growth: The International Evidence - Eugene F. Fama and Kenneth R. French - 29,559 downloads.
Abstract
"Value stocks have higher returns than growth stocks in markets around the world. For 1975-95, the difference between the average returns on global portfolios of high and low book-to-market stocks is 7.60% per year, and value stocks outperform growth stocks in 12 of 13 major markets. An international CAPM cannot explain the value premium, but a two-factor model that includes a risk factor for relative distress captures the value premium in international returns."
Number 5.
