Abstract

This paper investigates the pricing of the commonality in liquidity risk in the U.S. stock market by using a more comprehensive measure of market illiquidity cost that can reflect the liquidity condition of broader asset markets, and by forming portfolios in a way that is consistent with the definition of the commonality risk. Estimating a conditional version of the Liquidity-Adjusted Capital Asset Pricing Model by the Dynamic Conditional Correlation approach, we find a commonality risk premium that is higher than those derived from alternative measures. The premium is time varying, with values being higher during periods of market turmoil.
