Optimal Liquidity Provision in Limit Order Markets
Christoph Kühn (Goethe University, Germany)
Joint work with Johannes Muhle-Karbe

Tuesday June 3, 11:00-11:30 | session 1.8 | Market Microstructures | room 1+2

A small investor provides liquidity at the best bid and ask prices of a limit order market. For small spreads and frequent orders of other market participants, we explicitly determine the investor's optimal policy and welfare. In doing so, we allow for general dynamics of the mid price, the spread, and the order flow, as well as for arbitrary preferences of the liquidity provider under consideration. The talk is based on arXiv:1309.5235
