A Parametric Model for Liquidity Effects in Derivative Pricing and Hedging


Abstract:

The work described in this talk, jointly with David Bakstein, deals with a model for pricing and hedging derivatives in a market where trading incurs transaction costs and causes price slippage. We formulate discrete and continuous-time models, analyse them approximately and numerically, and show that the model can be calibrated to (equity) market data.
