We examine whether the recent regime of increased liquidity and trading activity is associated with attenuation of prominent equity return anomalies due to increased arbitrage. We find that the majority of the anomalies have attenuated, and the average returns from a portfolio strategy based on...

We propose that the volatility of order flow is a proxy for costs of information asymmetry, as order flow volatility … varies positively with parameters that also influence adverse selection costs of trading. Empirically, order flow volatility …. Levels of and shocks to order flow volatility are positively and significantly correlated with existing illiquidity proxies …
