Abstract

A hidden martingale restriction is developed for option pricing models based on Gram–Charlier expansions of the normal density function. The restriction is hidden behind a reduction in parameter space for the Gram–Charlier expansion coefficients. The resulting restriction is invisible in the option price. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Jrl Fut Mark 27: 517–534, 2007
