That is there exists a strong negative relationship between the liquidity and return. Under the risk-adverse world, the rational investors should hope that there wouldn’t be higher variation in liquidity. With the higher variation, the investors require to gain more premium for compensation. This paper hypothesizes the positive relationship between the variation of liquidity and the return. We use turnover and trading volume as the proxies of liquidity. Evidence reveals that there is a negative relation between the liquidity and return in part of the manufacture industries of the Taiwan stock market after controlling the size, book-to-market ratio, trading volume and turnover. However, the variation of liquidities are negatively correlated with stock returns.
