Abstract

We study the optimal execution problem in a principal–agent setting. A client contracts to purchase from a dealer. The dealer hedges, buying from the market, creating temporary and permanent price impact. The client chooses a contract, which specifies payment as a function of market prices; hidden action precludes conditioning on the dealer’s hedging trades. We show the first-best benchmark is theoretically achievable with an unrestricted contract set. We then consider weighted-average-price contracts, which are commonly used. In the continuous-time limit, the optimal weighting entails a constant density at interior times and discrete masses at the extremes.

阻止贸易签约
我们研究的是委托代理环境下的最优执行问题。客户与交易商签订购买合同。交易商进行套期保值,从市场上买入,对价格产生暂时和永久的影响。客户选择合同,合同规定付款是市场价格的函数;隐藏行动排除了对交易商套期保值交易的条件限制。我们的研究表明,理论上第一最优基准是可以通过不受限制的合约集实现的。然后,我们考虑了常用的加权平均价格合约。在连续时间极限中,最优加权需要在内部时间具有恒定密度,而在极端时间具有离散质量。
