Invariant form of SDE transformation formula.


reviously we obtained ( Change of drift recipe 1 ) that the drift of an SDE changes according to MATH We now combine the program MATH into a similar expression. Note, that the general formula does not work for the second transformation between the risk neutral measures. We use the explicit result for that case. Let $S_{t}$ be a $\$$ -price of a traded asset. Then MATH We put the recipes together:

MATH Therefore,

MATH (Currency change of numeraire recipe)
The above expression may be understood by considering units of measure. The $\mu_{S.t}$ is an absolute quantity but $B_{t}$ and $A_{t}$ are measured in units of currency: pound for $B_{t}$ and dollar for $A_{t}$ . Hence, there must be a multiplication by $X_{t}$ .

Note that the transition MATH does not involve multiplication of $S_{t}$ by exchange rate. The path of $S_{t}$ remains the same. This is different from the change MATH In such situation SDE transformation is slightly different: MATH thus MATH We use the formula ( X to Y connection ) to convert everything to $\$$ quantities: MATH and conclude MATH
