- Abstract (Swedish)
- This paper investigates if liquidity (or illiquidity) is a factor influencing returns on the Swedish stock market during the period of January 2001 to December of 2010. The time-series effects of illiquidity as well as differences in the effects of illiquidity across stocks with different characteristics are investigated. In addition, the paper addresses the question of whether sensitivity of stock returns to illiquidity, as well as to other explanatory factors, is persistent over time.
The results suggest that returns are sensitive to illiquidity during the sample period but that the effect decreases over time. For liquid stocks the relationship between return and illiquidity is found to be negative whilst the relationship is found to...

The results suggest that returns are sensitive to illiquidity during the sample period but that the effect decreases over time. For liquid stocks the relationship between return and illiquidity is found to be negative whilst the relationship is found to positive for illiquid stocks. Liquid stocks are found to be more sensitive to changes in illiquidity than illiquid stocks. (Less)
