Abstract:     
This paper studies the relationship between the liquidity premium and risk exposure to the shocks that influence consumption in the long run. We find illiquid stocks do not provide good hedge against the consumption fluctuation and have higher risk exposure to the consumption shock. The observed liquidity premium can be explained by the difference between such long-run risk exposure of liquid and illiquid stocks. The model implied liquidity premium increases with the risk aversion of investors and is insensitive to the specification of intertemporal substitution.
