“…Our findings provide insight on market liquidity and provide an interesting compliment to previous work that has largely focused on the relation between price formation, market liquidity, and trading book imbalances (Menkveld et al, 2004;Caporale et al, 2012), the price discovery process on MTS (Dunne et al, 2007;Caporale and Girardi, 2013), the relation between cost of funds and liquidity (Biais et al, 2004), the overcrowding of liquidity (Coppola et al, 2013), and the impact of informational content of trading activity on bond prices (Alfonso Dufour, 2012). It also lends a different perspective to other studies that operate more from a macro perspective, focusing, for example, on the relation between credit risk and liquidity (Beber et al, 2009;Pelizzon et al, 2016), or volatility and liquidity (Favero et al, 2010) for determining bond yields.…”
