Abstract
Abstract: In capital markets, their liquidity is the most important thing to measure the state of the markets. To some extent, the liquidity of capital markets decides their operation state. It is not only an important property, but also a prerequisite for their survival. If the security markets have no liquidity or lower liquidity, then the value of financial assets can be undervalued, or the extreme phenomenon that no anyone will be willing to possess the assets in some special circumstances will be appeared. The stock markets have two basic functions, that is, to provide liquidity and price discovery. In the existing literature, there is a huge amount of the study about capital pricing, but there is a little study about liquidity. The liquidity of stock markets mainly refers to the stock asset cashability, and it is also an important indicator to measure the efficiency of the stock markets. A higher liquidity of security markets will enhance the confidence of investors and attract more investors, which in returns will increase market liquidity. However, although the factors of the liquidity of the stock markets and their measure indicators have been mentioned for a long time, yet it has not been a convincing conclusion. Some scholars analyze them from a theoretical perspective, while others analyze them from the practical side. Moreover, quantity researches about liquidity deepen people’s knowledge about it. This paper analyzes the factors of influencing liquidity from theoretical and empirical perspective, and put forward some suggestions to improve China’s stock market liquidity. Keywords: Liquidity; Stock market; Market Microstructure.
