The Bellman Equation Related to the Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure

Abstract:
We derive a backward stochastic differential equation and a Bellman equation characterizing the minimal entropy martingale measure for market models, where asset prices are driven by Markov diffusion processes. A relation between these equations is established.

Keywords:
Minimal entropy martingale measure, backward stochastic differential equation, Bellman equation, incomplete market, stochastic volatility model.
