A note on the Esscher transform of affine Markov processes

Probability 2016-09-12 v1

Abstract

In affine models, both the martingale property of stochastic exponentials and non-explosion of affine processes is characterized in terms of minimality of solutions to a system of generalized Riccati differential equations. This is the final improvement of previous results by Duffie, Filipovic and Schachermayer (2003), Mayerhofer, Muhle-Karbe and Smirnov (2011) and Keller-Ressel and Mayerhofer (2015) for processes on canonical state spaces.

Comments

Old preprint. Exclusively published on https://www.arxiv.org. Slightly cryptic, but with a graphical illustration. Recent results on true local martingales by Martin Keller-Ressel are related
