Applying Fubini's Theorem

<t>In the HJM model, the short rate is given byr_u = f(0,u) + Integral[0,u]alpha(s,u)ds + Integral[0,u]sigma(s,u)dW_sr_u is then integrated and Fubini is applied to produce:Integral[0,t]r_u du = Integral[0,t]f(0,u)du - Integral[0,t]Integral[s,t]alpha(s,u)duds + Integral[0,t]Integral[s,t]sigma(s,u)du...

Identifying Normals

<t>I've been playing with this for a couple of days but I can't seem to make the factors balance. Unfortunately, the calculations are extremely tedious so it's sometimes difficult to distinguish a careless error from a conceptual error...A random variable X is a normal N(mu, sigma^2) under measure P...

Financial Calculus Question

You are correct. I stared at the problem for some time and could not see that step--but it's clear now. Thanks so much.

Vasicek Elaboration

<t>I'd like to work out the derivations for the popular term structure models. However, I seem to have overlooked a simple step in Vasicek. I've attached my work--can someone please let me know what I've missed?The evaluation of the stochastic portion using Stratonovich is not yielding the expected ...
