A Closed-form Solution to a Liquidity Discount Problem: with an Application to the Liquidity Crisis

主讲人

Ren Raw Chen

简介

<p>During the recent financial crisis, we have witnessed unprecedented compressions of asset prices. In a recent paper, Chen (2012) proposes a liquidity discount model that can successfully explain large price falls. In this article, we provide alternative valuations to the Chen model. Building on the same framework, we provide a new polynomial representation of the liquidity discount. We also simplify the Chen model to a closedform solution in a situation where there is no trading in the market place. We demonstrate in analytical forms that convexity in a security payoff is absolutely positively related to liquidity discounts.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, we contribute to the literature in relating the Chen model to trading volume (e.g. Karpoff (1986, 1987)). Using the price and trading volume data of the 9 largest financial<br /> firms in the U.S., we find strong support of the Chen model.</p>
