This paper shows how to apply the recent liquidity risk model of Çetin, Jarrow and Protter [3] to compute a simple and robust adjustment to standard risk measures (e.g. value-at-risk, coherent, or convex) for liquidity risk.

We develop a uni ed equilibrium model of competitive insurance markets that incorporates the demand and supply of insurance as well as insurers' asset and liability risks. Insurers' assets may be exposed to both idiosyncratic and systemic shocks. We obtain new insights into the relationship between insurance premia and insurers' internal capital that potentially reconcile the con icting predict...

We show that idiosyncratic liquidity risk is positively priced in the cross-section of stock returns. Our measure of idiosyncratic liquidity volatility is based on a ”market” model for stock liquidity. Idiosyncratic volatility of liquidity is priced in the presence of systematic liquidity risk: the covariance of stock returns with aggregate liquidity, the covariance of stock liquidity with aggr...

The purpose of this paper is to review the recent derivatives security research involving liquidity risk and to summarize its implications for practical risk management. The literature supports three general conclusions. The first is that the classical option price is "on average" true, even given liquidity risk. Second, it is well known that although the classical (theoretical) option hedge ca...

The paper shows that controlling for the aggregate volatility risk factor eliminates the puzzling negative relation between variability of trading activity and future abnormal returns. I find that variability of other measures of liquidity and liquidity risk is largely unrelated to expected returns. Lastly, I show that the low returns to firms with high variability of trading activity are not e...

This paper examines the interaction of idiosyncratic risk, liquidity and return across time in determining fund performance, as well as across investment style portfolios of European mutual funds. This study utilizes a unique data set including returns for equity mutual funds registered in six European countries. Overall, using monthly data, we find that both liquidity and idiosyncratic risk ar...
