State prices, also known as Arrow-Debreu prices, refer to the theoretical prices of assets or securities that payoff in specific future states of the world. They are foundational concepts in financial economics and are used in the pricing of contingent claims and derivatives. The idea comes from the Arrow-Debreu model of general equilibrium, which provides a framework for understanding how goods and services are allocated in an economy under certainty.
