Statistical causality and extremal measures
Petrović, Ljiljana • Valjarević, Dragana
Abstract
In this paper we consider the concept of statistical causality
in continuous time between
ows of information, represented by ltra-
tions. Then we relate the given concept of causality to the equivalent
change of measure that plays an important role in mathematical nance.
We give necessary and sucient conditions, in terms of statistical causali-
ty, for extremality of measure in the set of martingale measures. Also, we
have considered the extremality of measure which involves the stopping
time and the stopped processes, and obtained similar results. Finally, we
show that the concept of unique equivalent martingale measure is strongly
connected to the given concept of causality and apply this result to the
continuous market model.
