Liquidity Measures, Liquidity Drivers and Expected Returns on an Early Call Auction MarketCarsten BurhopMax Planck Society for the Advancement of the Sciences - Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods Sergey GelmanNational Research University Higher School of Economics July 1, 2011 MPI Collective Goods Preprint, No. 2011/19 Abstract: We analyze the determinants of illiquidity and its impact on asset pricing for purely call auction traded stocks on Berlin Stock Exchange using 22 years of daily data (1892-1913). We use the Lesmond et al. (1999) measure of transaction costs to proxy illiquidity. We show that transaction costs were low and comparable to today’s costs. Liquidity was negatively correlated with active informed trading, particularly being low for small and distressed stocks and in crises times. Liquidity concerns were a major driver of asset pricing: we find significant illiquidity level and illiquidity risk premia as well as an explicit premium for informed trading.
