Let λ be a probability measure on Ω (finite), with filtration {Ft}. Define ν(X)=λ(Xdνdλ), where dνdλ is a random variable i.e., ν(ω)=λ(ω)dνdλ(ω), all ω∈Ω. Show that Eν[X|Ft]=Eλ[Xdνdλ|Ft]Eλ[dνdλ|Ft]
Recall from the second fundamental theorem of asset pricing dνdλ=S0Tλ(S0T) if S0T is a constant then dνdλ=1 ⇒ λ=ν The change of measure formula is Eν[X]=Eλ[Xdνdμ]
For some attainable claim X let ϕ be a self financing strategy replicating X then by the first fundamental theorem of asset pricing Vt(ϕ)=Eν[XS0tS0T|Ft]
I am pretty sure the result will follow from one of these fundamental theorems of asset pricing but I am not sure where to go from here. Sorry for the messy start, also if you need me to write the three fundamental theorems I would be happy to do so. Any comments or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Alternative Solution - For all ω∈Ω, let Ft(ω)=Ft be the partition element containing ω. Then
Eν[X|Ft](ω)=∑ω∈Ft(ω)X(ω)ν(ω)∑ω∈Ft(ω)ν(ω)=∑ω∈Ft(ω)X(ω)λ(ω)dνdλ(ω)∑ω∈Ft(ω)λ(ω)dνdλ(ω)=(∑ω∈Ft(ω)X(ω)λ(ω)dνdλ(ω)∑ω∈Ft(ω)λ(ω))(∑ω∈Ft(ω)λ(ω)dνdλ(ω)∑ω∈Ft(ω)λ(ω))=Eλ[Xdνdλ|Ft](ω)Eλ[dνdλ|Ft](ω)
Answer
Let define Q and P two equivalent probabilities on a filtered space (Ω,(Ft)t≥0)
Let define ZT=dQdP restricted to FT measurable events.
It means that for XT being FT measurable we have: EQ[XT]=EP[ZTXT]
Let t≤T.
We want to define the change of probability measure on Ft. i.e we want to find Zt being Ft measurable such that for Xt being Ft measurable, we have:
EQ[Xt]=EP[ZtXt]
By definition of ZT, and since Xt is also FT measurable, we have: EQ[Xt]=EP[ZTXt]
i.e
for any Xt being Ft measurable we have Zt being Ft measurable such that:
EP[ZTXt]=EP[ZtXt]
so Zt=EP[ZT|Ft] by definition of conditional expectation.
Let YT being FT measurable, then we want to compute EQ[YT|Ft].
We denote Yt=EQ[YT|Ft]
We look for Yt such that for any Xt being Ft measurable, we have :
EQ[YTXt]=EQ[YtXt]
By definition of ZT we have EQ[YTXt]=EP[ZTYTXt]
By definition of Zt we have EQ[YtXt]=EP[ZtYtXt]
so we have:
EP[ZTYTXt]=EP[ZtYtXt]
and again by definition of conditional expectation, we have:
EP[ZTYT|Ft]=ZtYt
we can now conclude using the definition of Yt and Zt.
EQ[YT|Ft]=EP[ZTYT|Ft]EP[ZT|Ft]
