Local martingales in discrete time

Probability 2018-05-04 v2

Abstract

For any discrete-time PP--local martingale SS there exists a probability measure QPQ \sim P such that SS is a QQ--martingale. A new proof for this result is provided. The core idea relies on an appropriate modification of an argument by Chris Rogers, used to prove a version of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing in discrete time. This proof also yields that, for any ε>0\varepsilon>0, the measure QQ can be chosen so that dQdP1+ε\frac{dQ}{dP} \leq 1+\varepsilon.
