We introduce the concept of cross-sectional heterogeneity (and homogeneity) of equity markets. From period to period, the stocks in a market may move more or less ‘in line’. When stock prices move perfectly in line, we use the term ‘homogeneous market’. When the stock price developments are not perfectly in line, we use the term ‘heterogeneous markets’ and we propose a measure for the degree of heterogeneity. This heterogeneity measure can be applies to all usual stock characteristics, such as stock returns and risks. We present empirical results on the development of the heterogeneity of the large cap segment of the Spanish stock market over time, thus providing some new insights. En este trabajo se introducen los conceptos de heterogeneidad y homogeneidad de los mercados de capitales. Partiendo de que periodo a periodo, las acciones se mueven en el mercado más o menos en línea, diremos que el mercado es homogéneo cuando los precios evolucionan perfectamente en línea y que es más o menos heterogéneo en caso contrario. Igualmente se propone una medida para determinar el grado de heterogeneidad que se podrá aplicar tanto al análisis del rendimiento como del riesgo. Por último se presenta una aplicación práctica para el mercado continuo español, concretamente para los activos que componen su índice de referencia.
