medium · Market Microstructure spread-econ

In the Avellaneda-Stoikov model, how does an increase in the market maker's risk aversion parameter γ affect the optimal bid-ask spread?

  1. The spread widens to compensate for the utility loss of price risk.
  2. The spread remains unchanged but the midpoint shifts more aggressively.
  3. The spread becomes zero as the market maker exits the market.
  4. The spread narrows to capture more order flow.
