In this paper, we model price dispersion effects in over-the-counter (OTC) markets to show that in the presence of inventory risk for dealers and search costs for investors, traded prices may deviate from the expected market valuation of an asset. We interpret this deviation as a liquidity effect and develop a new liquidity measure quantifying the price dispersion in the context of the US corpo...

We propose a new test of whether a candidate variable is a priced risk factor. Specifically, we test whether there is a relationship between the conditional mean and conditional variance of the return on the cand...
