Gibbs v01.zip (April 7, 2005, about 12 Kbytes) contains Matlab routines to estimate the Roll model using the Gibbs sampler.
Liquidity v01.zip (April 7, 2005, about 43 Megabytes) contains daily and monthly TAQ-based liquidity estimates for the comparison sample used in the paper (250 firms per year, 1993-2003). NOTE: The price impact and related measures (in the est file) are missing for August 1996. Thanks to Joost Driessen for catching this.
Note:
dsfLiquidity2003v01.sas7bdat (74 Megabytes) contains effective cost, liquidity, illiquidity and gamma estimates for the CRSP daily sample (1962-2003).
If you use these data, please drop me an email at jhasbrou@stern.nyu.edu. I'll notify you of any updates. I would, as well, be grateful to know about any problems or other things you notice about the data. I make this dataset available on a "best efforts" basis. I believe, but cannot ensure, that the calculations are correct.
The dataset maps to the CRSP daily file: (almost) all stocks, from 1962 to 2003. For each permno, there is an (approximately) annual series of the liquidity measures described in the paper, including Gibbs and moment estimates of the effective cost, the liquidity ratio, the illiquidity ratio, the Pastor-Stambaugh reversal measure.
The estimates are based on daily data. I start with the first day a firm (permno) is in the daily file. Going forward, a sample break occurs when a year end is reached, or there is a change of listing venue, share code, share class, or if the CRSP cumulative price adjustment factor changes by more than 10%. (Most of the time there will be one record per firm per year).
The dataset contains estimates computed even when the number of observations is very low (and estimation error would be presumed to be large). In all cases I include in the dataset the number of observations used. In my own work, I generally ignore (set to missing) estimates when the number of observations is under 50. Use your own judgement.
