Bounded Girsanov density for exit of an unstable linear diffusion

ID: bounded-girsanov-density-for-exit-of-an-unstable-linear-diffusion

Under a reference measure where is Brownian motion started at zero, let be its exit time from . The displayed density is the stochastic exponential with integrand , by the Itô formula. It is bounded by , hence defines a uniformly integrable density process with terminal density . Under that measure change, is Brownian motion. At exit, , implying . This is a terminal density on the whole probability space, not merely an unspecified finite-horizon change of measure.
