Liquidity Measures and Cost of Trading in an Illiquid Market

Abstract: We provide the first in-depth study of trading on the Ukrainian stock exchange, using trade-by-trade data. Though Ukraine has some large listed companies, the market is quite illiquid. We study the efficiency of five liquidity measures in the market. The proportion of no-trading days is the most reliable of the five, while turnover, which is widely used in the literature, is a poor measure.

Armitage et al (2014) in contribution based on empirical data for Ukraine (2005)(2006) found that the proportion of nontrading days, the proportion of zero-return days, stock volatility, and measure of Amihud (2002) exhibit high correlations with this spread.
