| Abstract: | This paper provides an alternative test of Amihud and Mendelson's (1986) model using the turnover rate as a proxy for liquidity. The evidence suggests that liquidity plays a significant role in explaining the cross-sectional variation in stock returns. This effect persists after controlling for the well known determinants of stock returns like the firm-size, book-to-market ratio and the firm beta. This paper finds that the liquidity effect is not restricted to the month of January alone and is prevalent throughout the year. |
