Abstract: Integration‐by‐parts formulas for functions of fundamental jump processes relating to a continuous‐time, finite‐state Markov chain are derived using Bismut′s change of measures approach to Malliavin calculus. New expressions for the integrands in stochastic integrals corresponding to representations of martingales for the fundamental jump processes are derived using the integration‐by‐parts formulas. These results are then applied to hedge contingent claims in a Markov chain financial market, which provides a practical motivation for the developments of the integration‐by‐parts formulas and the martingale representations.
