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...

We analyze numerically the superreplication problem and the associatedhedging strategy in an illiquid binomial market. We prove theexistence of an optimal feedback strategy for European and barrier optionsand compute it numerically by means of a dynamic programmingprinciple. We exhibit that the...
