Abstract

We consider the problem of derivative pricing when the stochastic discount factors are exponential-affine functions of underlying state variable. In particular we discuss the conditionally Gaussian framework and introduce semi-parametric pricing methods for models with path dependent drift and volatility. This approach is also applied to more complicated frameworks, such as pricing of a derivative written on an index, when the interest rate is stochastic.
