2. Consider the simple one factor interest rate modell where the forward rate is given by f(t, T) = oWt + f(0, T) + fa(s, T)ds. The tradables are: Cash bond: dBt=rBedt, Bo = 1, T-maturity bond:P(t, T) = exp{- f(t, u)du}. The discounted bond price Zt BP(t, T) satisfies the stochastic differential equation = dZtZt-o(T - t)dWt+ [-00 (/0 (T 1) - T [ a(t, u)du dt (a) Find the measure Q equivalent to P under which Z, is a martingale. (b) Consider another bond with maturity S and let Y = BP(t, S). (i) Write down the expression for dyt (ii) Show that under no arbitrage the market price of risk is the same for the two different maturity bonds. (c) Use (b) above to determine the function a(t, T). (d) Express B, and P(t, T) in terms of the Q Brownian motion and the market price of risk.
