Abstract

We develop a comprehensive mathematical framework for polynomial jump-diffusions in a semimartingale context, which nest affine jump-diffusions and have broad applications in finance. We show that the polynomial property is preserved under polynomial transformations and L\'evy time change. We present a generic method for option pricing based on moment expansions. As an application, we introduce a large class of novel financial asset pricing models with excess log returns that are conditional L\'evy based on polynomial jump-diffusions.
