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 exogenous open market …

Study long-term asset liquidation behavior with external flows.
Develops numerical methods for pricing exchange options in a market with limited liquidity.
In this paper we discuss the optimal liquidation over a finite time horizon until the exit time. The drift and diffusion terms of the asset price are general functions depending on all variables including control and market regime. There is also a local nonlinear transaction cost associated to the liquidation. The mode…
Reconstructs fundamental groups from liquid local systems.
Study on liquidation games with market drop-out, proving unique equilibria.
The paper analyzes optimal liquidation strategies for cryptocurrencies considering both temporary and permanent price impacts.
The study examines when large trades are considered news or liquidity shocks in a market model.
We study the effect of liquidity freezes on an economic agent optimizing her utility of consumption in a perturbed Black-Scholes-Merton model. The single risky asset follows a geometric Brownian motion but is subject to liquidity shocks, during which no trading is possible and stock dynamics are modified. The liquidity…
Geometric Mean Market Makers super-hedge impermanent loss without models.
Study on liquid-vapor interfaces in stable equilibrium without assuming prior regularity.
We solve explicitly a two-dimensional singular control problem of finite fuel type for infinite time horizon. The problem stems from the optimal liquidation of an asset position in a financial market with multiplicative and transient price impact. Liquidity is stochastic in that the volume effect process, which determi…
A discrete method approximates hyperbolic curvature flow in the plane.
In a market with one safe and one risky asset, an investor with a long horizon, constant investment opportunities, and constant relative risk aversion trades with small proportional transaction costs. We derive explicit formulas for the optimal investment policy, its implied welfare, liquidity premium, and trading volu…
New method detects market liquidity changes using order book data.
We study the optimal liquidation problem in a market model where the bid price follows a geometric pure jump process whose local characteristics are driven by an unobservable finite-state Markov chain and by the liquidation rate. This model is consistent with stylized facts of high frequency data such as the discrete n…
Study optimal liquidation strategies under partial information in high-frequency trading.
We introduce a microscopic model for the dynamics of the order book to study how the lack of liquidity influences price fluctuations. We use the average density of the stored orders (granularity ) as a proxy for liquidity. This leads to a Price Impact Surface which depends on both volume and . The dependence …
The scope of financial systemic risk research encompasses a wide range of interbank channels and effects, including asset correlation shocks, default contagion, illiquidity contagion, and asset fire sales. This paper introduces a financial network model that combines the default and liquidity stress mechanisms into a "…
Flexible framework for optimal trading across multiple asset venues.
We consider risk-averse agents who compete for liquidity in an Almgren--Chriss market impact model. Mathematically, this situation can be described by a Nash equilibrium for a certain linear-quadratic differential game with state constraints. The state constraints enter the problem as terminal boundary conditions f…
We present an extended version of the recently proposed "LLOB" model for the dynamics of latent liquidity in financial markets. By allowing for finite cancellation and deposition rates within a continuous reaction-diffusion setup, we account for finite memory effects on the dynamics of the latent order book. We compute…
We study the problem of optimal pricing and hedging of a European option written on an illiquid asset using a set of proxies: a liquid asset , and liquid European options , each written on a liquid asset . We assume that the -hedge is dynamic while the multi-name -hedge is static. Usin…
We study a multiplicative transient price impact model for an illiquid financial market, where trading causes price impact which is multiplicative in relation to the current price, transient over time with finite rate of resilience, and non-linear in the order size. We construct explicit solutions for the optimal contr…
We introduce a price impact model which accounts for finite market depth, tightness and resilience. Its coupled bid- and ask-price dynamics induce convex liquidity costs. We provide existence of an optimal solution to the classical problem of maximizing expected utility from terminal liquidation wealth at a finite plan…
Optimizes liquidity provision intervals for profitable AMM participation.
Study shows how crypto asset liquidity is affected by wash trading and proposes treatment to reduce liquidity diffusion.
The study introduces new liquidity measures and models for assets with extreme liquidity.
A new DRL model optimizes hedging with market impact for low-liquidity stocks.
Study tail risk in high-frequency finance using -regularized regression.
Develops a mathematical model for CLMM dynamics in DeFi.
A liquidity measure based on consideration and price range is proposed. Initially defined for daily data, Liquidity Index (LIX) can also be estimated via intraday data by using a time scaling mechanism. The link between LIX and the liquidity measure based on weighted average bid-ask spread is established. Using this li…
The paper proposes a new model for financial order books without assuming prices or quantities.
This paper formalizes Uniswap v3 using PTA and FST for rigorous analysis.
The potential approach is a general and simple method for modelling interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and in principle other types of financial assets. This paper takes data on some liquid interest rate derivatives, and fits potential models using a small finite-state Markov chain as the base Markov process.
Research proposes a model to estimate transaction costs and assess asset liquidity risk.
Improved ARMA-GARCH model for illiquid assets like cryptocurrencies.
Optimizes liquidity provision in decentralized exchanges with utility indifference market makers.
Third part of a study on liquidity risk in asset management, focusing on managing the asset-liability liquidity risk.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of liquid time-constant (LTC) recurrent neural networks (RNN)s, a subclass of continuous-time RNNs, with varying neuronal time-constant realized by their nonlinear synaptic transmission model. This feature is inspired by the communication principles in the nervous system of small …
Develops a new model to better estimate cryptocurrency and stock volatility.
Optimal early liquidation strategy reduces financial losses during crises.
JIT liquidity providers can sometimes reduce overall market liquidity by crowding out passive LPs.
New framework detects crypto wash trading using liquidity measures.
We review different approaches for measuring the impact of liquidity on CDS prices. We start with reduced form models incorporating liquidity as an additional discount rate. We review Chen, Fabozzi and Sverdlove (2008) and Buhler and Trapp (2006, 2008), adopting different assumptions on how liquidity rates enter the CD…
We refine toxicity bounds for dynamic liquidation incentives in CP-AMM systems.
In this comment we discuss the problem of reconciling the linear efficiency of price returns with the long-memory of supply and demand. We present new evidence that shows that efficiency is maintained by a liquidity imbalance that co-moves with the imbalance of buyer vs. seller initiated transactions. For example, duri…
