Yakov Amihud

TLDR
In this article, the authors show that expected market illiquidity positively affects ex ante stock excess return, suggesting that expected stock ex ante excess return partly represents an illiquid price premium, which complements the cross-sectional positive return-illiquidity relationship.

Liquidity Risk and Expected Stock Returns

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether marketwide liquidity is a state variable important for asset pricing and found that expected stock returns are related cross-sectionally to the sensitivities of returns to fluctuations in aggregate liquidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asset pricing with liquidity risk

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple equilibrium model with liquidity risk is proposed, where a security's required return depends on its expected liquidity as well as on the covariances of its own return and liquidity with the market return.

Do liquidity measures measure liquidity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared three measures, effective spread, realized spread, and price impact based on both Trade and Quote (TAQ) and Rule 605 data, and found that the new effective/realized spread measures win the majority of horseraces, while the Amihud [2002.5] measure does well measuring price impact.

Halbert White
- 01 May 1980 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a parameter covariance matrix estimator which is consistent even when the disturbances of a linear regression model are heteroskedastic is presented, which does not depend on a formal model of the structure of the heteroSkewedness.

The Cross‐Section of Expected Stock Returns

TL;DR: In this paper, Bhandari et al. found that the relationship between market/3 and average return is flat, even when 3 is the only explanatory variable, and when the tests allow for variation in 3 that is unrelated to size.
