Using the Girsanov Theorem we derive the martingale equation which is used to find an equivalent martingale measure. We provide conditions for absence of arbitrage and completeness of the model, and we discuss hedging and pricing. For Markovian models we derive the relevant pricing PDE and we also provide an explicit representation formula for the stochastic discount factor. We discuss the relation between the market price of risk and the Girsanov kernel and finally we derive the Hansen–Jagannathan bounds for the Sharpe ratio.","PeriodicalId":311283,"journal":{"name":"Arbitrage Theory in Continuous Time","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126535902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models are analyzed and classified from the point of view of positive short rates, normal distribution, mean reversion, and computability. In particular we present the theory of affine term structures, and discuss the inversion of the yield curve. Analytical results for bond prices and bond options are presented for all the affine models.","PeriodicalId":311283,"journal":{"name":"Arbitrage Theory in Continuous Time","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128904556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
