Abstract

We consider a financial market with liquidity cost as in \c{C}etin, Jarrow and Protter [2004], where the supply function Sϵ(s,ν)S^{\epsilon}(s,\nu) depends on a parameter ϵ0\epsilon\geq 0 with S0(s,ν)=sS^0(s,\nu)=s corresponding to the perfect liquid situation. Using the PDE characterization of \c{C}etin, Soner and Touzi [2010] of the super-hedging cost of an option written on such a stock, we provide a Taylor expansion of the super-hedging cost in powers of ϵ\epsilon. In particular, we explicitly compute the first term in the expansion for a European Call option and give bounds for the order of the expansion for a European Digital Option.
