Based on the premise that non-trading reflects illiquidity, we hypothesize that managers use stock splits to attract more uninformed trading so that market makers can provide liquidity services at lower costs, which increases investors’ trading propensity and improves liquidity. The improvement allows investors to face reduced liquidity risk and require a lower liquidity premium, which in turn ...

This paper discusses liquidity regulation when short-term funding is the marginal funding source of credit growth but generates negative systemic risk externalities.

When banks differ in their credit opportunities, a Pigovian tax on short-term ...

In this research, non-linear inflationary dynamics based on the concept of missing money is studied using the threshold autoregressive models based on seasonal data of the time interval (1990:04-2016:07) for the economy of Iran. The finding of the research shows that simple and Divisia liquidity growth variables are determined as threshold variables, and inflation reacts to changes in the growt...

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.

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 c...

Additionally, latent factors are extracted by aggregating across both liquidity and volatility resulting in what we will call the common “uncertainty” factors. We find that volatility and the common uncertainty risk are significant...

We examine the impact on the quality of a securities market of hiding versus displaying orders that provide liquidity. Display expropriates informational rents from informed agents who trade as liquidity providers. The informed then exit liquidity provision in favor of demanding liquidity where they trade less aggressively. Trading costs to uninformed liquidity demanders are higher, bid-ask spr...
