الملخص الإنجليزي

How can small investors infer value relevant information from publicly available data in information scarce emerging markets? Using a large dataset from the MENA region (Morocco, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain), we document a significantly positive relationship between liquidity and firm performance.

We argue that lower level of information exposes stock market participants to excessive risk, and therefore any mechanism that can provide them with opportunity to lower this risk (by exiting the stock) is valuable.

Our results also show that this relationship is stronger in civil law countries than in common law countries.

Civil law countries have lower information disclosures and thus expose investors to more risk.

As a result, liquidity is valued more in civil law relative to common law countries.

We also show that the relationship between liquidity and firm performance breaks down during the crisis period.

We argue that excessive panic during the crisis period may increase the liquidity (i.e.

turnover), but it does not necessarily result in better performance of firms.
