Liquidity Risk Premia in the International Shipping Derivatives Market

چکیده

The study examines the existence of liquidity risk premia on freight derivatives returns. The Amihud liquidity ratio and bid-ask spreads are utilized to assess the existence of liquidity premia. Other macroeconomic variables are used to control for market risk. Results indicate that liquidity risk is priced and both liquidity measures have a significant role in determining freight derivatives returns. Consistent with expectations, both liquidity measures are found to have positive and significant effects on the returns of near-month freight derivatives contracts. The results have important implications for modeling freight derivatives returns, and consequently, for trading and risk management purposes.

The Term Structure of Money Market Spreads During the Financial Crisis∗

I estimate a no-arbitrage model of the term structure of money market spreads during the financial crisis to attribute movements in spreads to credit and liquidity factors. The model restrictions imply that longer-term spreads are linear, risk-adjusted expectations of future short-term spreads. This linear representation of spreads can be partitioned into two components: one related to time-var...

Liquidity premia in dynamic bargaining markets

This paper develops a search-theoretic model of the cross-sectional distribution of asset returns, abstracting from risk premia and focusing exclusively on liquidity.
