Parametric properties of semi-nonparametric distributions, with applications top option valuation

We derive the statistical properties of the SNP densities of Gallant and Nychka (1987). Weshow that these densities, which are always positive, are more flexible than truncated Gram-Charlier expansions with positivity restrictions. We use the SNP densities for financialderivatives valuation. We relate real and risk-neutral measures, obtain closed-form prices forEuropean options, and analyse the semiparametric properties of our pricing model...
