In order to adjust our asset-pricing test results with other microstructure factors, especially other liquidity measures, measures of other liquidity dimensions are added in these asset-pricing tests. They are Lambda, dollar effective spread and proportional effective spread. These three liquidity measures could be affected by the same set of market/stock-specific factors as resiliency, which is discussed in section 5.

Unlike Brennan and Subrahmanyam (1996), we use the inverse value of Lambda to directly measure depth level. When Lambda is high, depth is lower and higher required rate of return is expected. Thus, a positive relation between this depth measure and stock’s realized return is assumed.

Dollar/proportional effective spread measures the direct transaction costs for the public traders and is a natural proxy for the first dimension of market liquidity. Amihud and Mendelson (1986, 1989) and Eleswarapu (1997) found that spreads, as a measure of market illiquidity, are priced by the market. We also expect that these two spread measures have significant positive relation with stock’s realized market returns.

From table 11, we find that dollar effective spread is positively correlated with stock’s realized return, while proportional effective spreads are negatively correlated with stock’s realized return. And the relation between Lambda and stock’s realized return is insignificant. Dollar effective spread is highly positively related with proportional effective spread in the time-series analysis, while the cross-section correlation is negative and very weak. This implies that cross-section variation of proportional effective spread is mainly driven by the price level. Multivariate regression test results including all these liquidity measures are presented at table 13 (cross-section test results), and table 14 (time-series test results).

First, let’s look at the asset-pricing test results on the depth measure, Lambda. At first, it is included in asset-pricing tests in place of resiliency and gets insignificant coefficients at both cross-section and time-series tests. When we combine both Lambda and resiliency in the regression, we find that coefficients of Lambda are still insignificant.

However, resiliency still keeps its results: significant and negative in both cross-section and time-series tests. These results show that, although these two factors are correlated (see table 11), their relationship is not strong enough to cover resiliency’s effect on the stock’s realized market return. And this depth measure is not related with stock’s realized return.

Second, proportional and dollar effective spreads get different results in these multi-variate asset-pricing tests. Proportional effective spread shows significant and negative coefficients in cross-section tests, and positive and insignificant coefficients in time-series tests. Thus, proportional effective spread shows cross-section negative relation with stock’s realized market return and is consistent with result of bivaraite correlation

analyses. Although it may be inconsistent with what is expected from illiquidity-compensation theories, this result is consistent with previous finding by Easley, Hvidkjaer and O’Hara (2002), which also reported negative relation between return and percentage spread using monthly return data. Dollar spreads get positive and significant coefficient at both cross-section and time-series test, which indicates that it may be compensated by higher realized market return. This result is consistent with previous findings by Amihud and Mendelson (1986, 1989) and Eleswarapu (1997). The significantly negative coefficients on resiliency at both cross-section and time-series asset-pricing tests still hold, when combining with any of these two spread measures.

This implies that, accounting for the effect of the relation between spread and resiliency, resiliency yields additional effect on stock’s realized return.

Finally, we include all the available liquidity measures in the asset-pricing tests. We find that resiliency still shows significant negative relation with market return. And dollar effective spreads still get positive and significant coefficients on realized market return.

In all, the negative relationship between stock’s realized return and resiliency seems to be robust with the inclusion of other different measures of market liquidity in both the cross-section and time-series asset-pricing tests. Our results indicate that resiliency does affect stock’s realized daily return.

7. Conclusions

This paper investigates, for the first time, the main features of resiliency as a dimension of liquidity, and its effect on stock’s realized returns. Specifically, we first address how we can formally define and measure resiliency. Second, we analyse the micro-structural and stock-specific factors that affect resiliency. Third, we examine the relationship between resiliency and the other two liquidity dimensions: spread and depth.

And finally, we test if resiliency affects stock’s realized market return. Our empirical investigation is based on 100 actively traded stocks on the New York Stock Exchange over 294 trading days.

Following Kyle (1985), we define resiliency as the rate at which pricing errors caused by temporary order-flow shocks are corrected in the market. In this context, the observed mean-reversion parameter in the pricing-error process is used to empirically measure a stock’s resiliency. An integrated estimation procedure based on the

Kalman-filter methodology, is used to estimate resiliency for each trading day for each stock from minute-by-minute high-frequency data of 100 NYSE stocks. We find that, for our sample of (heavily traded) stocks, the mean value of the estimated resiliency over a one-minute horizon is 0.60, which indicates that as much as 60% of the pricing error reverts to zero within one minute.

We analyse eight micro-structural time-series and stock-specific factors as determinants of resiliency. We find that transaction frequency, tick size relative to pricing level, average transaction size, realized spread adverse-selection ratio, informative-transaction ratio and stock’s unexpected intra-day volatility are significant determinants of resiliency, and in the expected direction.

We investigate the relationships among these three liquidity dimensions. Spread, measured by the dollar effective spread, is highly correlated with depth, measured by the inverse value of Kyle’s Lambda. However, the relationship between resiliency and the other two liquidity dimensions, while statistically significant, is much weaker. It appears that resiliency, as a dimension of liquidity, is relatively independent to the other two dimensions of liquidity, spread and depth, and hence can potentially provide significant new information.

Finally, we apply the Brennan and Subrahmanyam (1986) methodology, and the commonly used Fama and MacBeth (1972) and Fama and French(1993) asset-pricing test procedures to test if resiliency affects a stock’s realized market return, and find strong evidence that it does influence the stock’s realized market return, and in the expected direction.

Table 7 Summary statistics of daily proportional and dollar spreads

The table contains basic statistics of daily proportional and dollar quoted/effective spreads. Panel A reports main statistics of all daily proportional and dollar spreads: mean (MEAN), standard deviation (STDEV), minimum value (MIN), maximum value (MAX), the first, second, and third quartiles. QUOTED column gives statistics of quoted spreads. EFFECTIVE column gives statistics of effective spreads. Panel B reports t-values for the null hypothesis 1: mean of the proportional/dollar spreads is zero (T-value)

Table 8.1 Frequency distribution of estimated daily Lambda values

The table reports frequency distribution of all estimated Lambda values. Frequency columns give number of estimated Lambda values in every range. Ratio columns give percentage of estimated Lambda values in every range. Panel A reports frequency distribution of all estimated Lambdas. Panel B reports frequency distribution of all significant estimated Lambdas.

Table 8.2 Summary statistics of estimated daily Lambda values The table contains basic statistics of all the estimated Lambda values. Panel A reports main statistics of all estimated values:

mean (MEAN), standard deviation (STDEV), minimum value (MIN), maximum value (MAX), the first, second, and third quartiles. ALL column gives statistics of all Lambda values, while SIGNIFICANT column gives statistics of all significant Lambda values. T-values are provided for the null hypothesis 1: mean of estimated Lambda is zero (T-value).
