Abstract

In this research, the relationship between stocks' closing price and bid-ask spread as a liquidity factor was investigated during the period 2003-2009 using Eviews software. To do so, time-series data were collected annually and applied as panel data. In order to remove the heteroscedasticity, Generalized Least Squares (GLS) method was used. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between stocks' closing price and bid-ask spread. In addition, due to the reverse relationship between Bid-Ask spread and liquidity, there is a negatively significant relationship between stocks' closing price and liquidity.
