  24. Liquidity & the 1987 Crash Amihud (1990, JPM) • Stocks that experienced a greater increase in bid-ask spread suffer a greater price decline during the crash => liquidity is a price factor • Alpha2 is insignificant during the crash (II vs. I) but significantly negative afterwards (III vs. II) => flight to quality • By the end of 1987, spread had narrowed but remained higher than before Oct => persistence

  25. To Do List: • Compare CRSP-NYSE vs. NASDAC • Study spread on e.g. Korea, Malaysia vs. US • Riskmetrics’s individual company governance scores • More robust econometrics • Managing liquidity-VaR
