The coefficient of Sˆ i reflects the response of stock returns to an increase in the bid–ask spread within spread group i, where i = 1 corresponds to the lowest-spread group. 72) Sˆ 1 Sˆ 2 Sˆ 3 Sˆ 4 Sˆ 5 Sˆ 6 Sˆ 7 β a Generalized least squares coefficients The regression model is R ep n = a0 + a1 βp n + 7 i =1 b i Sˆ pl n + 7 7 i =1 j = 1 c i j DP i j + 19 n =1 dn DYn + εp n , (8) where R ep n is the average excess return for portfolio p in year n, βpn is the average portfolio relative risk, Sˆ pl n is the mean-adjusted spread within spread group i (= the deviation of the spread of portfolio p in year n from the mean spread of its spread group, i), DPij are the portfolio-group dummy variables (= 1 in portfolio group (i, j), zero otherwise), DYn are the year dummy variables (= 1 in year n, 0 otherwise), and εpn are the residuals.
20). Altogether, we have 980 (= 49 × 20) portfolios. 2 presents summary statistics for the 49 portfolio groups, classified by spread and β. Note that both β and the excess return increase with the spread. 3, show that both βp and Sp are positively correlated with excess returns; the correlation between R ep and the spread over the twenty-year period is about twice as high as that between R ep and β. Also, note the high positive correlation between β and the spread. 2. Test Methodology We now turn to test the major hypothesis of model, namely, that expected return is an increasing and concave function of the relative spread.
3 For example, Renaissance Medallion, a large and highly successful hedge fund, is prevented from making large trades because of liquidity constraints (see Mallaby 2010). Ziemba and Ziemba (2007) point out that the choice of stocks in executing trading strategy depends on stock liquidity. For example, in executing a strategy to exploit the January effect (higher returns on small stocks), traders prefer stock indexes that provide greater liquidity. The rise in importance of HFT may raise the value of liquid stocks that are more amenable to HFT and strengthen the positive illiquidity-expected return relation.
