Abstract We study the Binomial version of the illiquid market model introduced by Cetin, Jarrow and Protter for continuous-time. In particular, we investigate the liquidity premium that results from the model. Cetin, Jarrow and Protter showed that the arbitrage-free price of a European contingent claim is equal to the Black-Scholes value. Later, Cetin, Soner and Touzi considered the super-replication problem using the same supply curve model but under some restrictions on the trading strategies. They showed that there exists a liquidity premium, a difference between the super-replicating cost and the Black-Scholes value. We analyze the super-replication problem in discrete time without any assumptions on the trading strategies. We recover the same liquidity premium as in Cetin, Soner and Touzi by passing to the continuous-time limit. We also develop efficient numerical methods for the analysis of this model.
