Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to test the effect of transaction cost to holding period of common stock. This study investigates whether investment with longer (shorter) investment time horizon hold common stocks with higher (lower) bid-ask spread as a proxy of transaction cost. Besides, this study also added two independent variables such as market value and variance of return. The statistical method used in this study is two-stage least square regressions because the investor’s holding period and the bid-ask spread for each stock are simultaneously determined. The result shows that bid ask spread related positively and significant to holding period. The bid ask spread, market value, and variance of return have a significant effect to holding period.
