Prerequisites Probability theory, Mathematical Finance
Description In this seminar, we will explore financial markets with friction, namely illiquid markets, markets with transaction costs and price impact models. In particular, limit order book and large trader models will be studied. Moreover, we will consider works on option pricing and equilibrium theory in the presence of speculative bubbles.
