This paper considers a model where both market liquidity and funding liquidity depend on the information in the market. Speculators are constrained by margins on their positions, the margins are set by financiers, who has less information than the speculators. The paper shows how this can result...

The Black-Scholes theory for a portfolio with an arbitrary number of shares, x, is expanded for the case of finite liquidity. The analytical results are derived for linear market impact. As in the case of infinite liquidity (Schmidt, 2003), the arbitrage-free condition yields option price that...

I construct a systemic liquidity risk index (SLRI) from data on violations of arbitrage relationships across several asset classes between 2004 and 2010. Then I test whether the equity returns of 53 global banks were exposed to this liquidity risk factor. Results show that the level of bank...

This paper studies the risk spillover among US Industrial Sectors and focuses on the connection between credit and liquidity risks. The proposed methodology is based on quantile regressions and considers the movements of CDS Industrial Sector Indices depending on common risk factors such as...

We analyze investors' motives for trading on international stock markets and investigate whether evidence for these motives is robust when time-varying market volatility, changes between calm and turbulent periods, and existence of international financial spillovers are controlled for. Applying...

This paper quantifies liquidity and credit premia in German and French government bond yields. For this purpose, we estimate term structures of government-guaranteed agency bonds and exploit the fact that any difference in their yields vis-`a-vis government bonds can be attributed to differences...

We use an asset pricing approach to compare the effects of expected liquidity and liquidity risk on expected U.S. corporate bond returns. Liquidity measures are constructed for bond portfolios using a Bayesian approach to estimate Roll's measure. The results show that expected bond liquidity and...

Baker and Stein's (2004) model predicts that individual stock liquidity, commonality in liquidity across stocks, the contemporaneous correlation between stock returns and liquidity, and the degree of high liquidity associated with low subsequent stock returns decrease in the absence of...

This study utilises an extensive dataset from three European exchanges, namely NYSE LIFFE Amsterdam, London and Paris, to study cross-sectional commonality in liquidity for individual equity options. We document that individual option liquidity is strongly associated with the underlying market...

This paper studies whether stock returns' sensitivities to aggregate liquidity fluctuations and the pricing of liquidity risk vary over time. We find that liquidity betas vary across two distinct states, one with high liquidity betas and the other with low betas. The high liquidity beta state...
