Abstract: We examine the price impact of different components of liquidity throughout the lifetime of the U.S. Treasury bond. Using the GovPX dataset, we provide a comprehensive empirical analysis of the impact of several liquidity proxies on the relative liquidity premium of these securities. The findings show that the liquidity premium has a deterministic main age-based component. This aging effect extends beyond the simple on-the-run/off-the-run effect. There is also a stochastic component of the liquidity premium that depends on the unexpected value of microstructure-based liquidity proxies and the current market- and bond-level conditions.
