The role of liquidity, investor protection and corporate block-shareholders in asset pricing
The role of liquidity, investor protection and corporate block-shareholders in asset pricing
This study introduces a new asset pricing factor capturing the effects of concentrated ownership within listed firms and the impact of institutional development from a unique sample comprised of stocks constituent to blue chip indices in sixty five equity markets worldwide. The evidence suggests that the new measure offers significant improvements over the size and book-to-market value three factor model of Fama and French (1993) and to a lesser extent the two factor liquidity augmented model of Liu (2006) in capturing the cross section of average stock returns. Our findings underline the importance of institutional quality, legal origins, and concentrated ownership that underscore property rights protection in portfolio diversification decisions of minority investors.

Abstract
This study introduces a new asset pricing factor capturing the effects of concentrated ownership within listed firms and the impact of institutional development from a unique sample comprised of stocks constituent to blue chip indices in sixty five equity markets worldwide. The evidence suggests that the new measure offers significant improvements over the size and book-to-market value three factor model of Fama and French (1993) and to a lesser extent the two factor liquidity augmented model of Liu (2006) in capturing the cross section of average stock returns. Our findings underline the importance of institutional quality, legal origins, and concentrated ownership that underscore property rights protection in portfolio diversification decisions of minority investors.
