New empirical evidence on the bid-ask spread [PDF]

open access: possibleApplied Economics, 2015
In this article, we model the determinants of spread for 734 firms listed on the NYSE over the period 1 January 1998 to 31 December 2008. We propose a panel data model of the determinants of spread. There are four main messages emerging from our work. We find a statistically significant effect of volume on spread inconsistent with the work of Johnson ...

The Effects of Stock Splits on Bid-Ask Spreads

The Journal of Finance, 1990
ABSTRACTThis paper examines the effects of stock splits on bid‐ask spreads for NYSE‐listed companies. Percentage spreads increase after splits, representing a liquidity cost to investors. These spread increases are directly related to decreases in share prices following splits and can explain part, but not all, of the observed increase in return ...

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the behavior of the components of the bid‐ask spread around earnings announcements.

ABSTRACTWe compare the relative magnitudes of the components of the bid‐ask spread for New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)/American Stock Exchange (AMEX) stocks to those of National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ)/National Market System (NMS) stocks. We find that the order‐processing cost component is smaller, and the adverse

The Volatility of Bid-Ask Spreads

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013
This paper provides evidence that supports the original hypothesis of Chordia, Subrahmanyam, and Ashuman (2001) that greater variability in liquidity should lead to higher expected returns. While prior research has often found a negative relation between the volatility of liquidity and expected stock returns, we find that the volatility of the bid-ask ...

The Volatility of Bid‐Ask Spreads

Financial Management, 2015
This study tests whether the volatility of bid‐ask spreads is positively related to expected returns. After controlling for market‐risk factors, we find that the average risk‐adjusted excess return for stocks in the highest spread volatility quintile is around 50 basis points per month.

The maximum bid-ask spread

Journal of Financial Markets, 2018
Abstract We examine the return premium associated with a new measure of illiquidity that focuses on extreme points in the distribution of bid-ask spreads. Results show that stocks with larger maximum bid-ask spreads and price impacts command a return premium that is both statistically and economically significant. These results are robust to a series

Trade Size and Components of the Bid-Ask Spread

Review of Financial Studies, 1995
The relation between theorized components of the bid-ask spread and trade size for a sample of NYSE firms is examined. We find that the adverse selection component increases uniformly with trade size. Conversely, order processing costs decrease with increases in trade size for all but the largest trades.
