    The liquidity discount. (English)
    0 references
    This paper characterizes the liquidity discount, which is the difference between the market value of a trader's position and its value when liquidated, by formulating the trader's optimal liquidation decision problem as a stochastic impulse control problem. The characterization enables one to modify the standard value-at-risk computation to include liquidity risk.
