Question:

Let \(\left(N_{t}\right)_{t \in \mathbb{R}_{+}}\)be a standard Poisson process with intensity \(\lambda>0\), started at \(N_{0}=0\).

a) Is the process \(t \mapsto N_{t}-2 \lambda t\) a submartingale, a martingale, or a supermartingale?

b) Let \(r>0\). Solve the stochastic differential equation

\[d S_{t}=r S_{t} d t+\sigma S_{t^{-}}\left(d N_{t}-\lambda d t\right)\]

c) Is the process \(t \mapsto S_{t}\) of Question (b) a submartingale, a martingale, or a supermartingale?

d) Compute the price at time 0 of the European call option with strike price \(K=\) \(S_{0} \mathrm{e}^{(r-\lambda \sigma) T}\), where \(\sigma>0\).
