In this paper we propose a contingent claim pricing scheme between two counterparties in an incomplete one period market. According to our approach the two counterparties of a non-marketed contingent claim select a pair of pricing kernels, in order to agree on a common price, by minimizing their joint regret function, which quantifies the departure from their initial beliefs. The joint regret function is a convex combination of entropy-like or norm-dependent functionals. The relevant optimization problem is posed in terms of a partially finite convex programming problem in the space of pricing kernels.
