This paper develops a search-theoretic model of the cross-sectional distribution of asset returns. It abstracts from … of liquidity with a simple linear formula: In equilibrium, the liquidity spread of an asset is proportional to the … risk premia and focuses exclusively on liquidity.

We study the impact on asset prices of illiquidity associated with search and bargaining in an economy in which agents … find each other more easily. Prices become Walrasian as investors' or marketmakers' search intensities get large …. Endogenizing search intensities yields natural welfare implications.
