Abstract
This study investigates the equity exposure to liquidity risk factors in Borsa Istanbul between 1992-2015. Stock level cross-sectional regression and univariate portfolio analysis are utilized to examine the predictive ability of liquidity risk in Turkish markets. The widest range of illiquidity proxies are used to test this effect. Cross-sectional regression analyses show that illiquidity betas predict expected equity returns. This relation remains robust when well-known priced factors are controlled for. The univariate portfolio analysis documents that equities that are more sensitive to illiquidity shocks generate 5% higher annualized returns than those that are less sensitive to liquidity shocks. Hence, these findings show that liquidity exposure is indeed priced for equity returns in Borsa Istanbul.
