Abstract

We consider local martingales of exponential form M=eX or E(X) where X denotes one component of a multivariate affine process in the sense of Duffie et al. (2003) [8]. By completing the characterization of conservative affine processes in [8, Section 9], we provide deterministic necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of the parameters of X for M to be a true martingale.
