Published / Preprint: Beyond the square root: Evidence for logarithmic dependence of market impact on size and participation rate. (arXiv:1412.2152v1 [q-fin.TR])

We make an extensive empirical study of the market impact of large orders (metaorders) executed in the U.S. equity market between 2007 and 2009. We show that the square root market impact formula, which is widely used in the industry and supported by previous published research, provides a good fit only across about two orders of magnitude in order size. A logarithmic functional form fits the...

Published / Preprint: A BSDE approach to fair bilateral pricing under endogenous collateralization. (arXiv:1412.2453v1 [q-fin.MF])

The present work generalizes also the papers by Bergman (1995), Mercurio (2013) and Piterbarg (2010). Using the comparison theorems for BSDEs, we derive inequalities for the unilateral prices and we give the range for its fair bilateral prices. We...
