The paper examines the relationship between the stock returns and the liquidity seeking to understand whether or not the cross-sectional variation in stock returns is driven by the changes in the turnover rate (a proxy for liquidity). The test is designed and conducted to measure the liquidity of cross-sectional returns by using the turnover rate in 543 random non-financial UK firms over the period from 1993 to 2003. Conclusions are made about the significance of liquidity (turnover rate) and seasonality phenomenon.
