Change of measure-based verification of Girsanov's theorem statement.


e would like to calculate the $h_{t}$ described in the section ( Girsanov's theorem ). The process $B_{t}$ is given by the SDE MATH in "the original measure" (see the section ( Change of measure recipe) ). The $B_{t}$ should look like a standard Brownian motion under a new measure given by the formula ( Definition of change of measure ) with $a_{t}:=h_{t}$ . We restate the result ( Change of Brownian motion ): MATH Hence the drift $\theta_{t}$ is, in fact, the volatility of $h$ : MATH We integrate for $h_{t}:$ MATH and conclude MATH Note the correct normalization MATH and the property MATH
