I'm working on a project, and I have to use the cumulative and conditional expected value of the variations of a stock following a Geometric Brownian Motion.
I know that the cumulative is as follows : E[1Si+1Si<z]=P[Si+1Si<z]=Φ(log(z)−(r−σ22)(ti+1−ti)σ√ti+1−ti)
Φ being the standard normal distribution cumulative function.
But I couldn't find the expression of the conditional expected value : $$ \mathbb{E}\left[\frac{S_{i+1}}{S_i} 1_{\frac{S_{i+1}}{S_i}
Answer
Note that \begin{align*} E\bigg(\frac{S_{i+1}}{S_i}\mathbb{I}_{\frac{S_{i+1}}{S_i} < z}\bigg) &=zE\bigg(\mathbb{I}_{\frac{S_{i+1}}{S_i} < z}\bigg)-E\bigg(\Big(z-\frac{S_{i+1}}{S_i}\Big)\mathbb{I}_{\frac{S_{i+1}}{S_i} < z}\bigg) \\ &=zP\bigg(\frac{S_{i+1}}{S_i}
Alternatively, note that Si+1Si=e(r−σ22)(ti+1−ti)+σ(Wti+1−Wti)=e(r−σ22)(ti+1−ti)+σ√ti+1−tiξ,
