<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This paper studies the equilibrium price of an asset that is traded in continuous time between <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> agents who have heterogeneous beliefs about the state process underlying the asset's payoff. We propose a tractable model where agents maximize expected returns under quadratic costs on inventories and trading rates. The unique equilibrium price is characterized by a weakly coupled system of linear parabolic equations which shows that holding and liquidity costs play dual roles. We derive the leading‐order asymptotics for small transaction and holding costs which give further insight into the equilibrium and the consequences of illiquidity.</jats:p>

We study portfolio choice with small nonlinear price impact on general market dynamics. Using probabilistic techniques and convex duality, we show that the asymptotic optimum can be described explicitly up to the solution of a nonlinear ODE, which identifies the optimal trading speed and the performance loss due to the trading friction. Previous asymptotic results for proportional and quadratic trading costs are obtained as limiting cases. As an illustration, we discuss how nonlinear trading costs affect the pricing and hedging of derivative securities and active portfolio management.

Bank P, Ekren I, Muhle-Karbe J, 2018, Liquidity in competitive dealer markets

We study a continuous-time version of the intermediation model of Grossman and Miller (1988). To wit, we solve for the competitive equilibrium prices at which liquidity takers' demands are absorbed by dealers with quadratic inventory costs, who can in turn gradually transfer these positions to an end-user market. This endogenously leads to a model with transient price impact. Smooth, diffusive, and discrete trades all incur finite but nontrivial liquidity costs, and can arise naturally from the liquidity takers' optimization.

We study risk-sharing equilibria with trading subject to small proportional transaction costs. We show that the frictionless equilibrium prices also form an “asymptotic equilibrium” in the small-cost limit. More precisely, there exist asymptotically optimal policies for all agents and a split of the trading cost according to their risk aversions for which the frictionless equilibrium prices still clear the market. Starting from a frictionless equilibrium, this allows studying the interplay of volatility, liquidity and trading volume.

<jats:p>When the planning horizon is long, and the safe asset grows indefinitely, isoelastic portfolios are nearly optimal for investors who are close to isoelastic for high wealth, and not too risk averse for low wealth. We prove this result in a general arbitrage‐free, frictionless, semimartingale model. As a consequence, optimal portfolios are robust to the perturbations in preferences induced by common option compensation schemes, and such incentives are weaker when their horizon is longer. Robust option incentives are possible, but require several, arbitrarily large exercise prices, and are not always convex.</jats:p>

<jats:p>For an investor with constant absolute risk aversion and a long horizon, who trades in a market with constant investment opportunities and small proportional transaction costs, we obtain explicitly the optimal investment policy, its implied welfare, liquidity premium, and trading volume. We identify these quantities as the limits of their isoelastic counterparts for high levels of risk aversion. The results are robust with respect to finite horizons, and extend to multiple uncorrelated risky assets. In this setting, we study a Stackelberg equilibrium, led by a risk‐neutral, monopolistic market maker who sets the spread as to maximize profits. The resulting endogenous spread depends on investment opportunities only, and is of the order of a few percentage points for realistic parameter values.</jats:p>
