The market in this model is incomplete, so there is more than one price kernel. We specify the parametric form of price kernels so that both market risk and economic risk are taken into account. The pricing and hedging problem is formulated as a stochastic optimal control problem and is discussed using the dynamic programming approach. A verification theorem for the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) solution to the problem is given. An issuer’s price kernel is obtained from a solution of a system of linear programming problems and an optimal hedged portfolio is determined.engContingent claim valuationHedgingRegime-switching riskUtility indifferenceProduct price kernelDynamic programmingMarkov regime-switching Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman (HJB) equationsExponential utilityLinear programmingjournal article10.11575/PRISM/34094
