Abstract
ETF sponsors promote ETFs as having superior liquidity than their constituents because of ETFs' liquidity in the open market and the underlying stocks' liquidity through the creation/redemption mechanism. We find a liquidity connection between the ETF and its underlying assets suggesting the potential simultaneous liquidity dry-up in both markets. Liquidity spillover increases during the market crisis and positively relates to market volatility and funding constraints. Besides, a stock with high volatility and low trading activity exhibits higher liquidity spillover. Finally, liquidity spillover varies proportionally with ETF arbitrage activity and tends to be lower when short sales constraints exist.
