Abstract

OTC Markets Group organizes stocks that trade over-the-counter (OTC) into three marketplaces (OTCQX, OTCQB, and Pink) based on firm quality and disclosure practices. We examine trading within these tiers and find that stocks in higher tiers are more liquid than stocks in lower tiers. After a series of difference-in-differences tests comparing a matched sample of stocks that change tiers, we find that liquidity improves (deteriorates) for stocks moving up (down) the tiered market structure, suggesting that the tier designations resolve uncertainty and increase firm visibility. Our results show that liquidity differences between tiers is attributable to OTC market structure.

现代场外交易市场结构与流动性:三层故事

OTC Markets Group根据公司质量和信息披露实践，将场外交易股票(OTC)组织到三个市场(OTCQX, OTCQB和Pink)。我们研究了这些层次内的交易，发现较高层次的股票比较低层次的股票更具流动性。在对改变层级的匹配股票样本进行了一系列差异中差异检验后，我们发现，在分层市场结构中向上(向下)移动的股票的流动性改善(恶化)，这表明层级指定解决了不确定性并增加了公司的可见性。我们的研究结果表明，各层级之间的流动性差异可归因于场外交易市场结构。
