Notes: Following Lee et al. (2014), the liquidity ratio is calculated as follows:.
The liquidity is referred as Aliq. Pre-COVID Aliq and Pre-COVID Rank are the weekly average of Aliq and its relative rank for all the firms included in S&P500 over the period of 08/01/2012 to 29/12/2019, respectively. COVID Aliq and COVID Rank are the weekly average of Aliq and its relative rank for all the firms included in S&P500 over the period of 08/03/2020 to 20/06/2020, respectively.%Change reports the percentage change in the Aliq of COVID to pre-COVID period. The difference is calculated as COVID minus Pre-COVID. The table is sorted according to the rank of%Change in descending order. Aliq* is Aliq rescaled by 10,000.
