    Abstract:

    According to the efficient market theory, one of the characteristics of an efficient and ideal market is the absence of transaction costs and, as a result, high liquidity. With the increase in liquidity, the cost of transactions will decrease significantly. Liquidity also plays an important role in the price discovery process. Considering the importance of liquidity, knowing the factors affecting it can help to improve it. The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between the ownership structure and the liquidity of shares of companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. The time period under study is between 1384 and 1388 and a total of 74 active stock companies were considered as a selected sample. The data were collected by using the new Rahavard software and calculated with the help of EXCEL software, and SPSS software was used to test the hypotheses and perform statistical analysis.

    In this research, the effect of the ownership structure from two aspects, the type of ownership and the concentration of ownership on the liquidity of the shares, has been investigated. The results of the hypotheses test show that there is an inverse (negative) relationship between the level of institutional ownership, the level of managerial ownership and the degree of concentration of ownership with the liquidity of shares. And there is a direct (positive) relationship between the level of corporate ownership and stock liquidity. Regarding foreign ownership, no information was found that indicates the ownership of foreign investors in the statistical sample companies. According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that one of the factors affecting the liquidity of shares is the ownership structure of companies.

    Key words: liquidity of shares, ownership structure, corporate governance, information asymmetry. Important publications have focused on themselves. The liquidity of an asset is: the ability to buy and sell that asset in the shortest possible time and cost. According to the definition of liquidity, it is realized in the absence of transaction costs. Liquidity plays an important role in the price discovery process and is a measure of market efficiency, especially in terms of information, Amihud, [1] 2005, in addition to the theoretical aspect, in practical terms and according to the existing realities such as the phenomenon of buying and selling queues and many other problems, it is necessary to pay attention to liquidity and try to solve this problem. One of the factors influencing the liquidity of stocks is the ownership structure of companies, and in this research we are looking for knowledge about the role of ownership structure in reducing the liquidity problems of stocks.

    [1] - Amihud et al, 200

    Introduction

    One of the basic issues in investment is the amount of liquidity[1] of assets. The role of the liquidity factor is very important in asset valuation. Because investors pay attention to the issue that if they want to sell their property, is there a suitable market for them or not? The liquidity of a stock sheet means that it can be sold quickly. The faster a stock can be sold at a lower cost, it can be said that that stock has more liquidity. Securities that are traded daily and frequently are more liquid and ultimately less risky than securities that are traded on a limited or infrequent basis (Yahiazadeh Far et al., 1389, 112) [2]

    The lower the liquidity of a share. That share will be less attractive for investment unless the owner gets a higher return. Liquidity is a function of the ability to perform a quick transaction of a high volume of securities and a low cost. It means that the price of the asset does not change much between the order and the purchase. The degree of liquidity of an investment is low when its fair price cannot be obtained quickly. The degree of liquidity of stocks is also effective in the decisions of investors in the formation of investment portfolios, in other words, rational investors demand more risk for stocks that have less liquidity, and their expected returns will be higher.

    In Iran, research has been done on the relationship between the ownership structure[3] and concepts such as corporate governance, company performance, profit and quality, and company value.But one of the issues that has been neglected in empirical research, not only regarding ownership structure, but also related to other fields, is the concept of stock liquidity. This study will examine the effects of ownership structure (type of ownership - concentration of ownership) on stock liquidity. But what is the importance of liquidity and why do we study it? One of the characteristics of an efficient and ideal market is the absence of transaction costs[4] and, as a result, high liquidity. Transaction costs include a wide range of costs in the form of obvious costs such as tax and brokerage and non-obvious costs due to information inefficiency. Accounting is one of the sources of information that can reduce the information inefficiency of the market by providing relevant and reliable information, thereby affecting the improvement of the liquidity of the companies' shares. Therefore, the liquidity of the shares can be considered as a measure of the efficiency of the market, especially in terms of information, and it can be widely used in the investigation of the factors affecting the provision of useful information (Rezapour, 2009, 2010)[5].

    In addition to the theoretical aspect, in terms of practicality and according to existing realities such as the queuing phenomenon buying and selling and many other problems, it seems necessary to pay attention to liquidity and try to solve this problem. An increase in liquidity can cause financial risk to be shared as much as possible by reducing portfolio costs and motivating investors more in their trading decisions. Studies show that the cost of transactions in American markets has been economically important (Lessmond et al., 1992) [6].     

    According to the role of liquidity in discovering the price of assets, distributing financial risk and reducing financial cost, it is important to know the factors affecting it. In the current research, the relationship between structure and ownership (type of ownership - concentration of ownership) and the liquidity of shares have been investigated.

    In the first chapter, after stating the research problem, we discuss the importance and necessity of the research, we also state the research objectives in the form of scientific and practical objectives, and then we refer to the theoretical framework and the realization analysis model.

    Rubin[9]

     

    2007

    No relationship was observed between the ownership of groups within the company and liquidity, but the liquidity of shares has a direct relationship with the level of institutional ownership and with the concentration of institutional ownership. It has an inverse relationship.

    The results of their study indicate that more dispersion of ownership leads to the improvement of stock liquidity.

    There is no relationship between ownership concentration and the difference in the bid price of buying and selling shares.
