Market frictions such as transaction costs typically make asset pricing models rather intractable. Yet, asymptotically for small costs, first-order corrections of optimal policies can be obtained explicitly in surprising generality. In this talk, we discuss these results and extensions to general equilibrium models with small frictions.
