Liquidity Effect in OTC Options Markets: Premium or Discount?Prachi DeuskarUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Anurag GuptaCase Western Reserve University - Department of Banking & Finance Marti G. SubrahmanyamNew York University - Stern School of Business February 2, 2010 Journal of Financial Markets, Forthcoming Abstract: Can the liquidity premium in asset prices, as documented in the exchange-traded equity and bond markets, be generalized to the over-the-counter (OTC) derivative markets? Using OTC euro (€) interest rate cap and floor data, we find that illiquid options trade at higher prices relative to liquid options. This liquidity discount, though opposite to that found in equities and bonds, is consistent with the structure of this OTC market and the nature of its demand and supply forces. Our results suggest that the effect of liquidity on asset prices cannot be generalized without regard to the characteristics of the market.
