A Tale of Two Prices: Liquidity and Asset Prices in Multiple Markets

Abstract: This paper investigates the liquidity effect in asset pricing by studying the liquiditypremium relationship of an American Depositary Receipt (ADR) and its underlying share.Using the Amihud (2002) measure, the turnover ratio and trading infrequency as proxies for liquidity, we show that a higher ADR premium is associated with higher ADR liquidity and lower home share liquidity, in terms of changes in these variables. We find that the liquidity effects remain strong after we control for firm size and a number o… Show more

“…Thus, changes in premium could reflect changes in fund liquidity (as expense ratios rarely change). A similar argument has been empirically tested by Chan, Hong, and Subrahmanyam (2008) in the context of cross-listed (ADR) stocks. The authors find that changes in ADR premiums (calculated relative to their home market share prices) are positively related to ADR liquidity relative to home share liquidity.…”

“…Arbitrage opportunities can provide an additional motivation for sophisticated traders to engage in multimarket trading (Baruch, Karolyi, and Lemmon (2007)). Gagnon and Karolyi (2010a) document that mispricings between the shares of the same firm trading in its domestic market and a cross-listing market occasionally occur (see also Chan, Hong and Subrahmanyam (2008)), and Menkveld (2008) finds evidence of arbitrage activity in intraday trading. Gagnon and Karolyi (2010a) also find that arbitrage is impeded by institutional and informational barriers that prevent arbitrageurs from fully eliminating mispricings between markets.…”

“…The riskier a stock, the greater will be its expected returns. Nevertheless, Datar et al, (1998) and Chan et al, (2008) argue that the more liquid stocks have higher returns. It is, therefore, difficult to foresee the meaning of the relationship between stock returns and spreads.…”
