Empirical cross-sectional asset pricing: a survey

I review the state of empirical asset pricing devoted to understanding cross-sectional differences in average rates of return. Both methodologies and empirical evidence are surveyed. Tremendous progress has been made in understanding return patterns. At the same time, there is a need to synthesize the huge amount of collected evidence.
