Equilibrium Pricing in Incomplete Markets

Abstract

Given exogenously the price process of some assets, we constrain the price process of other assets, which are characterized by their final pay-offs. We deal with an incomplete market framework in a discrete time model and assume the existence of the equilibrium. In this setup, we derive restrictions on the state-price deflators and these restrictions do not depend on a particular choice of utility function. A stochastic volatility model is numerically investigated as an example. Our approach leads to an interval of admissible prices much better than the arbitrage pricing interval.equilibrium pricing, incomplete markets, state-price deflator, arbitrage pricing, stochastic volatility
