In the literature of asset pricing, this paper introduces a new method to estimate the cost-based market liquidity (CBML), that is, the bid-ask spread. The proposed model of spread proxy positively correlates with the examined low-frequency spread proxies for a larger dataset. The introduced approach provides potential implications in important aspects. Unlike in the Roll bid-ask spread model and the CHL bid-ask estimator, the CBML model consistently estimates market liquidity and trading cost for the entire dataset. Additionally, the CBML estimator steadily measures positive spreads, unlike in the CS bid-ask spread model. The construction of the proposed approach is not computationally intensive and can be considered for distinct studies at both market and firm levels.

<p>Liquidity is said to be the lifeblood of stock markets. It has prominent implications for traders, regulators, stock exchanges and the listed firms. In recent years a huge amount of literature has emerged that deals with liquidity. This article classifies and organises the literature and provides a critical review of the frameworks currently available for modelling liquidity and its macroeconomic and firm specific drivers. Commonality and intraday behaviour of liquidity in various markets is discussed under the umbrella of market microstructures.  Subsequently, liquidity risk as a factor in Asset pricing is analysed taking various models in to consideration. Finally, the study reviewed the impact of liquidity on corporate finance decisions viz. dividends, firm valuation, stock split, capital structure etc.</p>

Purpose of this study is to obtain empirical evidence about the role of liquidity in asset pricing in the Indonesian stock market. This study compares the role of liquidity as a characteristic of stocks and liquidity as a source of systematic risk. This study uses a total of 280 sample companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2006 - 2016. In measuring liquidity, this study uses the proportion of zero returns and because liquidity predicts future returns and also moves according to the past. For this reason it is necessary to have innovations to avoid stationarity issues because of the high persistence in liquidity so we use ARMA structure in the portfolio as data analysis method. Data processing was performed using the Fama-Macbeth (1973) model. The results of this study prove that market liquidity has a negative influence on stock returns on the Indonesian market. Thus, the role of liquidity as a systematic risk has an effect on asset pricing on the Indonesian stock market.

The study examines the liquidity adjusted capital asset pricing model in developed and emerging markets. Amihud measure is used to compute market liquidity. Innovations in Amihud ratio are generated through the autoregressive process to avoid autocorrelation in illiquidity data series. Decile portfolios based on illiquidity cost are formulated for each stock market. Liquidity adjusted betas are calculated at the portfolio level and then stocks as test assets have been used in the regression stage. Panel regression with fixed effect has been employed on LCAPM specifications for explaining the excess stock returns of developed and emerging markets during a period July 2005- June 2017. The findings of the study support that individual and aggregate liquidity risk price in stock markets except for Pakistan. The results of the study suggest that investors institutional or individual should consider liquidity risks for assessing the worth of assets.
