| Summary: | The study examines the liquidity adjusted capital asset pricing model in developed and emerging markets. Amihud measure is used to compute market liquidity. Innovations in Amihud ratio are generated through the autoregressive process to avoid autocorrelation in illiquidity data series. Decile portfolios based on illiquidity cost are formulated for each stock market. Liquidity adjusted betas are calculated at the portfolio level and then stocks as test assets have been used in the regression stage. Panel regression with fixed effect has been employed on LCAPM specifications for explaining the excess stock returns of developed and emerging markets during a period July 2005- June 2017. The findings of the study support that individual and aggregate liquidity risk price in stock markets except for Pakistan. The results of the study suggest that investors institutional or individual should consider liquidity risks for assessing the worth of assets.
