An FBSDE approach to market impact games with stochastic parameters

Abstract

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this study, we have analyzed a market impact game between <i>n</i> risk-averse agents who compete for liquidity in a market impact model with a permanent price impact and additional slippage. Most market parameters, including volatility and drift, are allowed to vary stochastically. Our first main result characterizes the Nash equilibrium in terms of a fully coupled system of forward-backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs). Our second main result provides conditions under which this system of FBSDEs has a unique solution, resulting in a unique Nash equilibrium. </p>
