Abstract
We develop a method of assigning unique prices to derivative securities, including options, in the continuous-time finance model developed in Raimondo [47]. In contrast with the martingale method of valuing options, which cannot distinguish among infinitely many possible option pricing processes for a given underlying securities price process when markets are dynamically incomplete, our option prices are uniquely determined in equilibrium in closed form as a function of the underlying economic data.
