Book excerpt: This study investigates whether marketwide liquidity is a state variable important for asset pricing. We find that expected stock returns are related cross-sectionally to the sensitivities of returns to fluctuations in aggregate liquidity. Our monthly liquidity measure, an average of individual-stock measures estimated with daily data, relies on the principle that order flow induces greater return reversals when liquidity is lower. From 1966 through 1999, the average return on stocks with high sensitivities to liquidity exceeds that for stocks with low sensitivities by 7.5 percent annually, adjusted for exposures to the market return as well as size, value, and momentum factors. Furthermore, a liquidity risk factor accounts for half of the profits to a momentum strategy over the same 34-year period.

Download or read book Liquidity and Asset Prices written by Yakov Amihud and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2006 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liquidity and Asset Prices reviews the literature that studies the relationship between liquidity and asset prices. The authors review the theoretical literature that predicts how liquidity affects a security's required return and discuss the empirical connection between the two. Liquidity and Asset Prices surveys the theory of liquidity-based asset pricing followed by the empirical evidence. The theory section proceeds from basic models with exogenous holding periods to those that incorporate additional elements of risk and endogenous holding periods. The empirical section reviews the evidence on the liquidity premium for stocks, bonds, and other financial assets.
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.
Download or read book The Volatility of Liquidity and Expected Stock Returns written by Ferhat Akbas and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pricing of total liquidity risk is studied in the cross-section of stock returns. The study suggests that there is a positive relation between total volatility of liquidity and expected returns. Our measure of liquidity is based on Amihud (2002) and its volatility is measured using daily data. Furthermore, we document that total volatility of liquidity is priced in the presence of systematic liquidity risk: the covariance of stock returns with aggregate liquidity, the covariance of stock liquidity with aggregate liquidity, and the covariance of stock liquidity with the market return. The separate pricing of total volatility of liquidity indicates that idiosyncratic liquidity risk is important in the cross section of returns. This result is puzzling in light of Acharya and Pedersen (2005) who develop a model in which only systematic liquidity risk affects returns. The positive correlation between the volatility of liquidity and expected returns suggests that risk averse investors require a risk premium for holding stocks that have high variation in liquidity. Higher variation in liquidity implies that a stock may become illiquid with higher probability at a time when it is traded. This is important for investors who face an immediate liquidity need and are not able to wait for periods of high liquidity to sell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine the uncertainty elasticity of liquidity (UEL: percentage change in the individual stock's liquidity given percentage change in the market volatility) and its influences on expected stock returns in the Chinese stock market from 2002 to 2014. We find that stocks of firms with lower share price, smaller market capitalization, higher book to market ratio, higher past year return, higher illiquidity ratio, higher non-tradable percentage, and fewer analysts following have higher UEL. The factor model analysis shows that the highest UEL decile portfolio monthly earns 0.36% more than the lowest UEL decile portfolio and have higher factor loadings on SMB, RMW, and CMA of the Fama and French five factor model. Furthermore, firm-level analysis shows that UEL does not have additional explanation power on expected stock returns after controlling for the liquidity risk. Finally, on average, stocks' UEL is higher when the stock market return is lower.

Download or read book Extreme Liquidity Risk Its Premium from Market Downturns and the Cross Section of Stock Returns written by Joonki Noh and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I construct a measure of the extreme liquidity risk factor based on the contraction and expansion of monthly cross-sectional distributions of individual illiquidity measures and investigate its asset pricing implications. I find strong empirical evidence (1) that the extreme liquidity risk is priced in the cross-section of expected stock returns and (2) that its premium comes only from market-downturn loadings. The extreme liquidity risk commands an annual premium of 3.3% for one standard deviation increase in its market-downturn loading. The main findings still hold after controlling for known factor loadings, including the loadings of liquidity risk factor and return tail risk factor, as well as various rm characteristics, including size, book-to-market, momentum, Amihud illiquidity level, and extreme Amihud illiquidity level. The cross-sectional pricing evidence of the extreme liquidity risk survives (1) time-varying factor loadings, (2) extended test portfolios augmented by 30 Fama-French industry portfolios, and (3) diagnostic tests for a useless factor.

Download or read book Global Stock Market Development written by Marcin Kalinowski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current era of globalised financial markets, the stock market cannot be assessed solely by comparing quantitative features such as the number of listed companies or capitalisation on the stock exchange. This is of secondary importance from an investor's point of view. What is important, however, is how a given stock market behaves towards the environment – whether it is ‘hyperactive’ or ‘excessively lethargic’ in response to information. This book provides an innovative tool for assessing global stock markets. It describes the complex concept of ‘stock market development’ in light of classical and behavioural finance theories and considers both quantitative (the number of listed companies, turnover, etc.) and behavioural aspects (price volatility, the behaviour of fundamental indicators of listed companies). Based on an innovative method for assessing development, the author analyses 130 stock markets, indicating those that are more developed in terms of quantity and behaviour. Ultimately, this enables the assessment of which markets are more or less developed and why. This knowledge, used properly, offers an advantage over other financial market participants, and allows for the comprehensive assessment of individual stock markets, which can support the process of making good investment decisions. The book is an invaluable resource for research fellows and students in economics, particularly the field of finance. It is also addressed to business and stock market practitioners, such as financial market analysts, brokers and investment advisers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fully up-to-date, cutting-edge guide to the measurement and management of liquidity risk Written for front and middle office risk management and quantitative practitioners, this book provides the ground-level knowledge, tools, and techniques for effective liquidity risk management. Highly practical, though thoroughly grounded in theory, the book begins with the basics of liquidity risks and, using examples pulled from the recent financial crisis, how they manifest themselves in financial institutions. The book then goes on to look at tools which can be used to measure liquidity risk, discussing risk monitoring and the different models used, notably financial variables models, credit variables models, and behavioural variables models, and then at managing these risks. As well as looking at the tools necessary for effective measurement and management, the book also looks at and discusses current regulation and the implication of new Basel regulations on management procedures and tools.
Download or read book Maximum Bid Ask Spreads and Expected Stock Returns written by Benjamin M. Blau and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The return premium associated with the illiquidity of stocks is well documented. In this study, we focus our attention on the uncertainty of liquidity. We test whether brief but significant liquidity droughts, as measured by the maximum daily bid-ask spread during a particular month, are associated with the illiquidity premium. Results show a robust return premium associated with stocks with the largest maximum bid-ask spread. We find that stocks with the largest maximum spreads generate alphas of approximately 1% per month. These results are distinct from premiums associated with the bid-ask spread and hold in a multi-factor setting after controlling for the Pastor-Stambaugh liquidity risk factor.
