Arbitrage-free interval and dynamic hedging in an illiquid market

Abstract: This paper derives two pricing PDEs for a general European option under liquidity risk. We provide two modified hedges: one hedge replicates a short option and the other replicates a long option inclusive of liquidity costs under continuous rebalancing. We identify an arbitrage-free interval by calculating the costs of the two hedges. Unlike in a setting with infinite overall transaction costs, the overall liquidity cost in our model is proved to be finite even under continuous rebalancing. Numerical results on option pricing and the moments of hedge errors of Black--Scholes and our modified hedges are also presented.
