Abstract Amihud’s stock (il)liquidity measure averages daily ratios of the absolute close-to-close return to dollar volume, including overnight returns. Our modified uses open-to-close returns matching and trading volume measurement windows. It is more strongly correlated with trading-cost measures (by 8%–37%) better explains cross-sections returns, doubling estimated liquidity premiums. Using ...

This reform— along with the drop of interest rates occurred between 2008 and 2009—has produced a unique ...

Several variables that proxy for the stocks that an individual market maker’s brokerage customers trade, including volume, location, underwriting participation and analyst coverage, are significant determinants of market making activity.

This paper studies the asymptotic behaviour of an affine stochastic functional differential equation modelling the evolution of the cumulative return of a risky security. In the model, the traders of the security determine their investment strategy by comparing short– and long–run moving averages of the security’s returns. We show that the cumulative returns either obey the Law of the Iterated ...

Relative information content tests reveal earnings to be more highly associated with returns and firm values than EVA, residual income, or cash flow from operations. Incre...
