For fixed , differentiation under the integral sign is justified by bounded and . At the unconstrained minimizer , the first-order condition isDefine the strictly positive, bounded pricing kernelThe first-order condition says , so . When taking the requested partial derivative, hold fixed and only afterwards set . Writing , we obtainThe assumed dual bound applies to this particular pricing kernel. ThusNo derivative of the map is needed; confusing a partial derivative with a derivative along the minimizing path would add an unnecessary hypothesis.
