VaR_Delta-Normal fails in two counts: subadditivity and potentially producing losses larger than its portfolio value. This paper solves the second inconsistency developing formulas derived from a put option, named PVaR_Delta-Normal and Put_Expected_Shortfall, PSF_Delta-Normal; the latter also...

We present comprehensive evidence in support of giving liquidity equal standing to size, value/growth, and momentum as investment styles, as defined by Sharpe (1992). First, we show that financial market liquidity, as identified by stock turnover, is an economically significant indicator of...

Ghost liquidity (GL) in fragmented markets, is defined as the observable but not accessible liquidity that is mostly associated with the rapid cancellations of multiple orders in different venues when an order is executed in a venue. We track the prevalence and the impacts of GL in the case of a...
