Integrability of exponential process and its application to backward stochastic differential equations

摘要

We consider the integrability problem of an exponential process with unbounded coefficients. The integrability is established under weaker conditions of Kazamaki type, which complements the results of Yong obtained under a Novikov type condition. As applications, we consider the solvability of linear backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) and market completeness, the solvability of a Riccati BSDE and optimal investment, all in the setting of unbounded coefficients.
