Abstract
The problem of the arbitrage-free pricing of a European contingent claim B is considered in a general model for intraday stock price movements in the case of partial information. The dynamics of the risky asset price is described through a marked point process Y, whose local characteristics depend on some unobservable jump diffusion process X. The processes Y and X may have common jump times, which means that the trading activity may affect the law of X and could be also related to the presence of catastrophic events. Risk-neutral measures are characterized and in particular, the minimal entropy martingale measure is studied. The problem of pricing under restricted information is discussed, and the arbitrage-free price of the claim B w.r.t. the minimal entropy martingale measure is computed by using filtering techniques.
