Time-Varying Liquidity Risk and the Cross Section of Stock Returns
研究股票收益对总体流动性波动的敏感度(流动性贝塔)及其定价是否随时间变化。发现流动性贝塔存在高、低两种状态,高贝塔状态短暂但流动性风险溢价巨大,超过价值溢价的两倍。
This paper studies whether stock returns' sensitivities to aggregate liquidity fluctuations and the pricing of liquidity risk vary over time. We find that liquidity betas vary across two distinct states: one with high liquidity betas and the other with low betas. The high liquidity-beta state is short lived and characterized by heavy trade, high volatility, and a wide cross-sectional dispersion in liquidity betas. It also delivers a disproportionately large liquidity risk premium, amounting to more than twice the value premium. Our results are consistent with a model of liquidity risk in which investors face uncertainty about their trading counterparties' preferences. The Author 2007.
