| Abstract: |
| We study a continuum model of the limit order book, viewed as a
noncooperative game for n players. An external buyer asks for a random amount X > 0
of a given asset. This amount will be bought at the lowest available price, as long as the
price does not exceed a given upper bound P . One or more sellers offer various quantities
of the asset at different prices, competing to fulfill the incoming order, whose size is not
known a priori.
Depending on the probability distribution of X , we prove the existence (or non-existence)
of a unique Nash equilibrium. In the positive case, the optimal pricing strategies of the
various agents are explicitly determined. |
