Why the Esscher transform is the right transform for pricing formula?
A Wiener process has infinitely many states of the world at any time step. Does that not mean that there are infinitely many EMM's for any model that uses the Wiener process?
But then if there is only ...

Let $\mathbb{P} \sim \mathbb{Q} \sim \mathbb{R}$ be equivalent probability measures on some measurable space
Let $\mathbb{P} \sim \mathbb{Q} \sim \mathbb{R}$ be equivalent probability measures on some measurable space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F})$, and let $\mathcal{G} \subset \mathcal{F}$ be a sub- $\sigma$-...

Equivalent local martingale measure vs. equvalent martingale measure in a Brownian setup
Assume you have the standard financial market built up of a Brownian motion. I have seen some books say that an equivalent local martingale measure imples no arbitrage, and some say that an equivalent ...

Poisson process under equivalent martingale measure
I have a stochastic process $N(t)$ which is equal to $n$ with probability
$P\{N(t) = n\}=\frac{\left(\lambda t \right)^{n}}{n!}e^{-\lambda t }$
where $t$ represents the time period. In other words, ...

Is first order stochastic dominance conserved under change of measure?
As the title states, my question is whether first order stochastic dominance is conserved under change of measure, for instance from the $\mathbb{P}$ measure to $\mathbb{Q}$ measure and change of ...

Change of measure for a stochastic process to be a martingale
$\text { Give a measure change so that } X_{t}=e^{B_{t}}\left(B_{t}-t / 2\right) \text { is a martingale, } 0 \leq t \leq T$
My attempt
Using Ito's lemma on $X_{t}$ we get:
$-\frac{e^{B t}}{2} d t+\...

EMM for Bachelier model
The stock price is assumed to evolve as $S_{t}=S_{0}+\mu t+\sigma B_{t}$, where $S_{0}>0, \mu>0$ and the process $B_{t}$ is Brownian motion.
The saving account is assumed to be $\beta_{t}=e^{r t}...

How to prove that the following is still a Brownian motion [closed]
Given a Brownian motion $B_t$ on a filtered probability space, how can I prove that $W_t=B_t+\alpha t$ is still a Brownian motion, with $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$? Is it always true? Do I need necessarly ...

Is $E_t^{Q}(g(Y))=E_t^{Q^Z}(g(Y))$?
Consider $$Z(t)=\left(\frac{S(t)}{H}\right)^p$$where $S$ has a standard Black-scholes Dynamics for a stock, $H$ is a postive constant and $p =1 - \frac{2r}{\sigma^2}$
and a simple claim with a pay-off ...

What's the price of a lookback call option in the arbitrage-free CRR-model?
If we consider the CRR-model in two periods, i.e. T=2. Let $S^1$ be the risky asset with $S_0^1=100$ and $S^0$ the bond with $S_0^0=1$. Furthermore, we assume the model is arbitrage-free with $y_b=-0....

Can the risk-neutral measure depend on the option type?
In an ideal Black-Scholes setting, the Risk-Neutral measure $Q$ is unique and so, obviously, does not depend on what derivative instrument we want to price.
Assume some deviation from perfect markets (...

We have a two LIBOR contracts, how to compare their values by change of change of numeraire
We have two LIBOR contracts:
contract 1 pays $L\left(T_{1},\:T_{2}\right)-K$ at time $T_{1}$
contract 2 pays $L\left(T_{1},\:T_{2}\right)-K$ at time $T_{2}$.
Now, $F_{1}$ is the par strike such that ...
