Cross-Sectional Stock Returns in the UK Market: The Role of Liquidity Risk
FORECASTING EXPECTED RETURNS, Butterworth-Heinemann, Forthcoming
36 Pages Posted: 15 Apr 2007
Abstract
The relationship between liquidity and stock returns has been investigated extensively in recent years. Using the UK data, we show that there is a sizeable difference in the cross-sectional returns between liquid and illiquid assets. Liquidity together with book-to-market equity explains cross-sectional returns. Furthermore, the well-documented value premium can be explained by a liquidity-augmented CAPM, and this result is robust in the presence of distress factor and a battery of macroeconomic variables.
