Abstract
This paper introduces an option-theoretical approach to value illiquidity securities discount and makes an empirical study about the close-ended fund discount by using a back-looking option to describe a simple analytical upper boundary on the cost of illiquidity.The authors expect to provide a benchmark for assessing the potential costs from non-marketability and thinly-traded market.
