Abstract:
Abstract This paper shows the impact of company-specific characteristics on the liquidity of equity instruments. Using equity instruments listed in NASDAQ, it is found that insider holdings have a significantly (1%) negative correlation with liquidity for all regression models even after adjusting for endogeneity using the IVREG and GMM model. The total share outstanding (TSO) has a significant negative correlation with liquidity across different specifications, but after adjusting for endogeneity it becomes positive and insignificant. The closing price has a significantly positive correlation with liquidity across models, but after exogenous variations through IVREG and GMM, it turns insignificantly positive. The non-parametric test confirms the consistency in the findings of different models. Finally, a robustness check suggests that the type of issuer plays a differential role in determining the liquidity of equity which is driven by selected covariates.
