Arrow–Debreu state price
ID: arrow-debreu-state-price
On a finite state space, the Arrow–Debreu state price is the current price of a payoff equal to one in state and zero elsewhere. It equals the physical state probability times the state-price density in that state. With a riskless asset of deterministic prices , the Arrow state prices sum to . Normalizing them gives the risk-neutral probabilities, while division by the physical probabilities instead recovers the pricing density.
