Solution: Reweighting a Two-State Model

Solution

The density is Z(u)=0.4/0.7=4/7Z(u)=0.4/0.7=4/7 and Z(d)=0.6/0.3=2Z(d)=0.6/0.3=2. Then

EP[Z]=0.7(4/7)+0.3(2)=0.4+0.6=1.\mathbb{E}^{\mathbb{P}}[Z]=0.7(4/7)+0.3(2)=0.4+0.6=1.

Takeaways

  • A density is a likelihood ratio.
  • It must have expectation one under the original measure.
  • State weights can rise or fall after the measure change.
