Activism, Strategic Trading, and Liquidity. This paper consolidates and substantially extends the theory parts of two prior working papers: Back, Li, and Ljungqvist (2015) and Collin‐Dufresne and Fos (2015b). Overall, that activism also affects market liquidity is a link that has not been emphasized in the literature, where liquidity is typically taken to be exogenous and one to one with the amount of noise trading. Two results that contrast with the previous literature are that (a) the relationship between market liquidity and economic efficiency is independent of the activist's initial stake for a broad set of activism technologies, and (b) an increase in noise trading can reduce market liquidity because it increases uncertainty about the activist's trades (the activist trades in the opposite direction of noise traders) and thereby increases information asymmetry about the activist's intentions.
