We demonstrate how a change of probability measure can be carried out based on the risk preference of a representative investor. Using the stochastic discount factor and the Radon-Nikod´ym derivative, we are able to obtain the risk-neutral measure given a real world measure and a preference structure defined by a utility function. This methodology is then used to attribute the sources of skewness in the risk-neutral measure. 2014-10-17T10:08:23Z 2014-10-17T10:08:23Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8517 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town
