Understanding liquidity and liquidity risk is essential for effective risk management. We investigate liquidity spillover effects among ETFs that track the S&P sectors. In particular, using COVID-related news shocks as a natural experiment, we estimate the direction and magnitude of two-way net spillovers and their asymmetry across good and bad news regimes, where liquidity is measured by the daily quoted bid–ask spread and the Amihud illiquidity ratio. Our results confirm the liquidity links amongst ETFs and suggest that liquidity spillovers are more pronounced during bad news periods compared to good news periods. In addition, we document the variations in the results obtained using the bid–ask spread and the Amihud ratio, which provide insights into different dimensions of liquidity and liquidity risk, including volatility and trading volume.

This paper investigates the level of liquidity of digital currencies during the very intense bearish phase in their markets. The data employed span the period from April 2018 until January 2019, which is the second phase of bearish times with almost constant decreases. The Amihud’s illiquidity ratio is employed in order to measure the liquidity of these digital assets. Findings indicate that the most popular cryptocurrencies exhibit higher levels of liquidity during stressed periods. Thereby, it is revealed that investors’ preferences for trading during highly risky times are favorable for well-known virtual currencies in the detriment of less-known ones. This enhances findings of relevant literature about strong and persistent positive or negative herding behavior of investors based on Bitcoin, Ethereum and highly-capitalized cryptocurrencies in general. Notably though, a tendency towards investing in the TrueUSD stablecoin has also emerged. Full article

This study studies a recently proposed measure of liquidity premium (or discount). Specifically, the liquidity premium we utilize is defined as a function of a time discount factor, a relative risk aversion parameter, and the expected return and volatility of the asset, given the risk-free rate. Using U.S. stock market data, our empirical results confirm that the proposed liquidity premium measure is largely comparable to that commonly used in existing studies. Our results also imply that a risk factor based on the liquidity premium measure not only explains cross-sectional stock returns, but also time-series excess returns on portfolios sorted on the commonly used liquidity measure. In addition, our study suggests that better understanding the liquidity risk leads to sustainable trading for investors. Full article
