AbstractWe consider the pricing problem of equity-linked annuities and variable annuities under a regime-switching model when the dynamic of the market value of a reference asset is driven by a gen-eralized geometric Brownian motion model with regime switching. In particular, we assume that regime switching over time according to a continuous-time Markov chain with a finite number state space representing economy states. We use the Esscher transform to determine an equivalent martingale measure for fair valuation in the incomplete market setting. The paper is comple-mented with some numerical examples to highlight the implications of our model on pricing these guarantees.
