Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, I focus on examining the effects of institutional ownership on stocks' liquidity and liquidity risk using a sample of firms listed on the NYSE and the AMEX over the period 1980-2005. The first chapter provides a brief introduction to liquidity and emphasizes the role of institutional ownership in financial markets. In the second chapter, I examine the relationship between institutional ownership and liquidity of stocks, focusing on the effect of institutions' relative information advantage. The information advantage of institutions can affect liquidity through two channels: decreasing liquidity resulting from increasing information asymmetry (adverse selection effect) and increasing liquidity resulting from increasing price discovery due to competition among institutions' information efficiency effect. My evidence indicates a non-monotonic (U-shaped) relationship between the level of institutional ownership and stock liquidity. The two effects vary with the amount of publicly available information and asset risk. I also find that institutional ownership (Granger) causes liquidity, allaying concerns that the findings result from institutions' preference for liquid stocks. Lastly, I document that liquidity decreases with increasing diversification of the portfolio of institutional investors and the fraction of equity held by long-term investors. In the third chapter, I examine the effects of institutional ownership on stocks' time variation in liquidity. It helps advance an understanding of the sources of commonality in liquidity and the determinants of the sensitivity of an asset's liquidity to changes in marketwide liquidity (systematic liquidity risk) and the total variance of liquidity of a firm over time. I interpret my findings in the context of correlated trading by institutions resulting either from their tendency to herd or to trade on common information and signals. I find that systematic liquidity risk increases with the level of institutional ownership, homogeneity and investment-horizon of the institutional investor base, while it decreases with ownership concentration and increase in blockholdings. However, the variance of liquidity decreases with the level of institutional ownership, homogeneity of the investor base and ownership concentration. Overall, the findings indicate that the ownership structure of stocks affects both the systematic liquidity risk and the variation in their liquidity over time.

Book excerpt: Institutional ownership affects the sensitivity of stock returns to changes in market liquidity (liquidity risk). Overall, institutional ownership lowers the liquidity risk of stocks. However, different types of institutions affect liquidity risk in opposite ways. Stocks held by hedge funds, especially levered hedge funds, as marginal investors are more sensitive to changes in market liquidity than comparable stocks held by other types of institutions or by individuals. In contrast, stocks held by banks are less sensitive to changes in aggregate liquidity. These findings are robust to alternative specifications that control for institutional preferences for different stock characteristics and risk.

Book excerpt: The study examines the relationship between institutional ownership and liquidity of stocks, focusing on the effect of institutions' information advantage on liquidity. The information advantage of institutions can affect liquidity through two channels: adverse selection and information efficiency. The adverse selection effect results from an increase in information asymmetry. The information efficiency effect, however, results from an increase in competition among institutions. Competition promotes the rate at which private information is incorporated into prices, reducing uncertainty about future payoffs. I find evidence of a nonmonotonic (U-shaped) relationship between the fraction of shares of a firm held by institutions and various measures of stock liquidity. This evidence of a nonmonotonic relationship strongly suggests that the two effects coexist and interact with each other. The effect of information advantage of institutions on liquidity also varies with the amount of publicly available information and asset risk. My evidence indicates that institutional ownership (Granger) causes liquidity, allaying, to an extent, concerns that findings are a result of institutions' preference for liquid stocks. Lastly, I document that institutional investor characteristics, such as investment horizon and risk aversion, also affect liquidity. Liquidity decreases with both increases in fraction of equity held by long-term investors and risk aversion of institutional investor.
Download or read book Market Liquidity written by Yakov Amihud and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the theory and evidence on the effect of market liquidity and liquidity risk on asset prices and on overall securities market performance. Illiquidity means incurring a high transaction cost, which includes a large price impact when trading and facing a long time to unload a large position. Liquidity risk is higher if a security becomes more illiquid when it needs to be traded in the future, which will raise trading cost. The book shows that higher illiquidity and greater liquidity risk reduce securities prices and raise the expected return that investors require as compensation. Aggregate market liquidity is linked to funding liquidity, which affects the provision of liquidity services. When these become constrained, there is a liquidity crisis which leads to downward price and liquidity spiral. Overall, the volume demonstrates the important role of liquidity in asset pricing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We empirically examine the relationship between liquidity and the fraction of the firm owned by insiders and institutions. The bid-ask spread is a direct cost of transacting and we use it as one measure of stock liquidity. Lee, Mucklow and Ready (1993) point out that, in addition to bid-ask spread, quoted depth is also part of the stock market quote and that specialists actively manage adverse selection risk by adjusting both spread and depth. We find that both higher insider and institutional ownership are associated with wider spread and smaller quoted depth. Our results also suggest that for higher insider ownership the loss of liquidity is a consequence of adverse selection costs and for higher institutional ownership is a result of higher inventory carrying costs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chile has a large but relatively illiquid stock market. Global factors such as global risk appetite and monetary policy in advanced economies are key cyclical determinants of liquidity in Chilean equities. Evidence from a cross-section of emerging markets suggests strong protection of minority shareholders can help improve stock market liquitidity. Currently, illiquid in Chilean may have to pay 31⁄2 percent more as cost of equity. Corporate governance should be improved, namely through the adoption of a stewardship code.
Download or read book Inside and Outside Liquidity written by Bengt Holmstrom and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two leading economists develop a theory explaining the demand for and supply of liquid assets. Why do financial institutions, industrial companies, and households hold low-yielding money balances, Treasury bills, and other liquid assets? When and to what extent can the state and international financial markets make up for a shortage of liquid assets, allowing agents to save and share risk more effectively? These questions are at the center of all financial crises, including the current global one. In Inside and Outside Liquidity, leading economists Bengt Holmström and Jean Tirole offer an original, unified perspective on these questions. In a slight, but important, departure from the standard theory of finance, they show how imperfect pledgeability of corporate income leads to a demand for as well as a shortage of liquidity with interesting implications for the pricing of assets, investment decisions, and liquidity management. The government has an active role to play in improving risk-sharing between consumers with limited commitment power and firms dealing with the high costs of potential liquidity shortages. In this perspective, private risk-sharing is always imperfect and may lead to financial crises that can be alleviated through government interventions.
