Abstract

Abstract We estimate two components of stock market liquidity, namely trading costs and trading volume, for the Berlin Stock Exchange, 1892–1913.

We use information on stock exchange turnover taxes collected in Berlin and we have compiled monthly data. We show that the three indicators of trading volume are highly correlated.
