Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the measurement of liquidity in light of the academic research on liquidity. We present a theoretical liquidity measure, informed by the academic literature on liquidity, and analyze its benefits in terms of assessing liquidity risk both from a firm and macro-prudential perspective.

Keywords: Liquidity, liquidity mismatch

JEL Classification: E44
