N for the discrete time Vasiˇcek model. It depends on the parameter λ ∈ R. We see that if λ = 0, the density process is identically equal to 1, and henceforth P ∗ = P. Therefore, λ models the difference between the real world probability measure P and the equivalent martingale measure P ∗ which is in economic theory explained through the market risk aversion. Therefore, λ is often called the market price of risk parameter and explains the aggregate market risk aversion (in our Vasiˇcek model).
15. At the current stage we provide the equilibrium argument. Assume we purchase cash flow X at time t at price Q t [X]. Hence, we generate the following payment cash flow by this acquisition Q t [X] Z(t) = (0, . . , 0, Q t [X] , 0, . . 41) if we pay the price for X at time t. 42) Q 0 Q t [X] Z(t) , since we have only information F0 at time 0 about the price Q t [X] of X at time t. 43) since (based on today’s information F0 ) the two payment streams should have the same value. That is, we agree today to either purchase and pay X today or to purchase and pay X at time t (at its current price Q t [X] at that time).
