We document that corporate investment contributes to stock liquidity. This study demonstrates a positive relationship between abnormal corporate investment and stock liquidity in the cross-section.Moreover, stock liquidity
improves more apparently for firms with financial constraints. Our robustness check confirms that the

the risk of a firm and that a change in the risk affects the behavior of a market maker, leading to an increase
in stock liquidity.
