Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of liquidity risk on the return of shares in the Chilean stock market, during the period from January 2000 to July 2018. A large number of studies have focused on measuring this effect in developed markets and few in emerging markets, especially the Chilean one. To do this, we used 6 risk measures in a multiple regression model; four widely used in previous studies and two new proposed measures. We found evidence of the significance of the liquidity risk over the stock return.

RESUMO

Este estudo analisa o impacto do risco de liquidez no retorno das ações no mercado de ações chileno, durante o período de janeiro de 2000 a julho de 2018. Muitos estudos têm se concentrado em medir este efeito em mercados desenvolvidos e poucos nos mercados emergentes, especialmente o chileno. Para isso, utilizamos 6 medidas de risco em um modelo de regressão múltipla; quatro amplamente utilizados em estudos anteriores e duas novas medidas propostas. Encontramos evidências da significância do risco de liquidez sobre o retorno das ações.
