Statistical Mechanics 2008-12-10 v1 Pricing of Securities

Abstract

We apply the maximum entropy principle to economic systems in equilibrium and find the density function for the market's wealth. This is the same as price density which is used for insurance pricing. The risk aversion parameter of the agent then it's utility function with respect to this density is derived.
