Stability of Radner equilibria with respect to small frictions

We study risk-sharing equilibria with trading subject to small proportional transaction costs. We show that the frictionless equilibrium prices also form an “asymptotic equilibrium” in the small-cost limit. More precisely, there exist asymptotically optimal policies for all agents and a split of the trading cost according to their risk aversions for which the frictionless equilibrium prices still clear the market. Starting from a frictionless equilibrium, this allows studying the interplay of volatility, liquidity and trading volume.
