Abstract
Using a sample of equities listed on the exchanges of 22 developed countries, we find that equity returns on customer industries lead the returns of supplier industries. This customer-supplier lead-lag effect is economically significant and is more pronounced for small suppliers and for supplier industries with dispersed sales and higher relationship-specific investments with their customers. Overall, the lead-lag effect exhibits characteristics that are more consistent with the view that it is the result of a slow diffusion of value-relevant information.
