Volume, liquidity, and liquidity risk ¬リニ

چکیده
Many classes of microstructure models, as well as intuition, suggest that it should be easier to trade when markets are more active. In the data, however, volume and liquidity seem unrelated over time. This paper offers an explanation for this fact based on a simple frictionless model in which liquidity reflects the average risk-bearing capacity of the economy and volume reflects the changing contribution of individuals to that average. Volume and liquidity are unrelated in the model, but volume is positively related to the variance of liquidity, or liquidity risk. Empirical evidence from the U.S. government bond and stock markets supports this new prediction. r 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. JEL classification: D91; E21; E44; E52; G12

The average return on bonds with high sensitivities to aggregate liquidity exceeds that for bonds with low sensitivities by about 4% annually. The positive relation between expected corporate bond returns and liquidity beta is robust to the effects of default ...
متن کاملCredit lines as monitored liquidity insurance: Theory and evidence ¬リニ

Bank monitoring and resulting revocations help control illiquidityseeking behavior of firms insured by credit lines. The cost of credit lines is thus greater for firms with high liquidity risk, which in turn are likely to use cash instead of credit lines. We test this implication for corpo...

That is, firms tend to issue SEOs when liquidity risk declines to the point where investors have least concern of the risk. In the abs...
متن کاملLiquidity risk and the performance of UK mutual funds ¬リニ
a r t i c l e i n f o We examine the role of liquidity risk, both as a stock characteristic as well as systematic liquidity risk, in UK mutual fund performance for the first time. We find that on average UK mutual funds are tilted towards liquid stocks (except for small stock funds as might be expected) but that, counter-intuitively, liquidity rather than illiquidity, as a stock characteristic ...
