Abstract
This dissertation studies how mutual funds and hedge funds manage their liquidity and reduce trading costs, and the pricing of liquidity level and liquidity risk in financial markets. Chapter 1 documents the trading behavior of actively managed equity mutual funds from the perspective of their trading cost management. Chapter 2 analyzes what size for the liquidity risk premium can be justified theoretically. Here we calculate the liquidity risk premiums demanded by large investors by solving a dynamic portfolio choice problem with stochastic price impact of trading, CRRA utility and a time-varying investment opportunity set. Chapter 3 studies how hedge funds adjusted their holdings of liquid and illiquid stocks before, during and after the 2008 financial crisis.
