A new method for estimating liquidity risk: Insights from a liquidity-adjusted CAPM framework

چکیده
This paper proposes a new non-parametric method for estimating model-free, time-varying liquidity betas which builds on realized covariance and volatility theory. Working under a liquidityadjusted CAPM framework we provide evidence that liquidity risk is a factor priced in the Greek stock market, mainly arising from the covariation of individual liquidity with local market liquidity, however, the level of liquidity seems to be an irrelevant variable in asset pricing. Our findings provide support to the notion that liquidity shocks transmitted across securities can cause market-wide effects and can have important implications for portfolio diversification strategies. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Constructing Comparable Sources of Liquidity Risk in the CAPM
This paper adopts the methodology used by Fama and French (1993) to construct two measures of liquidity risk. These liquidity proxies solve the empirical issue of comparability between risk factors by utilizing the standardized unit of risk first proposed for size and value effects. As far as I know, this has not been done before. Modeling these additional liquidity premiums indicate an improve...
متن کاملPortfolio Choice and the Effects of Liquidity
This paper discusses how to introduce liquidity into the well known mean-variance framework of portfolio selection using a representative sample of Spanish equity portfolios. Either by estimating mean-variance liquidity constrained frontiers or directly estimating optimal portfolios for alternative levels of risk aversion and preference for liquidity, we obtain strong effects of liquidity on op...

This study develops a stress-testing framework to assess liquidity risk of banks, where liquidity and default risks can stem from the crystallisation of market risk arising from a prolonged period of negative asset price shocks. In the framework, exogenous asset price shocks increase banks’ liquidity risk through three channels. First, severe mark-to-market losses on the banks’ assets increase ...

متن کاملCan hedge funds time market liquidity?
We explore a new dimension of fund managers' timing ability by examining whether they can time market liquidity through adjusting their portfolios'market exposure as aggregate liquidity conditions change. Using a large sample of hedge funds, we find strong evidence of liquidity timing. A bootstrap analysis suggests that top-ranked liquidity timers cannot be attributed to pure luck. In out-of-sa...
