Abstract: This note reviews the academic and non-academic literature on the relation between stock market participation and liquidity, with a particular focus on emerging markets. The paper concentrates on the three main investor categories considered relevant to enhance stock market liquidity: domestic institutional, retail and international investors. Based on the review of the literature, the paper concludes that to enhance stock market liquidity, emerging markets should avoid domestic institutional concentration, balance retail and institutional participation and gradually liberalise the market to foreign investors.
