520 |a "This book is about the pricing of liquidity. We present theory and evidence on how liquidity affects securities prices, why liquidity varies over time, how a drop in liquidity leads to a drop in prices, and why liquidity crises create liquidity spirals.

Liquidity and its converse, illiquidity, are elusive concepts: You know it when you see it, but it is hard to define. A liquid security is characterized by the ability to buy or sell large amounts of it at low cost. A good example is U.S. Treasury Bills, which can be sold in blocks of $20 million dollars instantaneously at the cost of a fraction of a basis point"--  |c Provided by publisher.
