The European option with hereditary price structures: Basic theory

In this paper, we propose a new model for the (B,S)-market in which the stock price and the asset in the riskless bank account have hereditary price structures. Specifically, the dynamics of the stock price and the bank account are described by linear stochastic functional differential equations. The pricing of the European contingent claims is studied and the corresponding trading strategy is derived.
