摘要:This paper seeks to see if there is a relationship between market liquidity, proxied by turnover and size, measured by market capitalization and the number of listed companies for European Union countries. We employ a panel data structure with unobserved characteristics for each country modeled as fixed effects for all 27 European Union (EU) countries over the period 2001-2011. Our results prove that market capitalization, as a size variable is significant for capital market liquidity. As policy recommendation, we suggest for these countries to enhance their market capitalization in order to attain a greater liquidity.
