Abstract

Stochastic flows and their Jacobians are used to show why, when the short rate process is described by Gaussian dynamics, (as in the Vasicek or Hull-White models), or square root, affine (Bessel) processes, (as in the Cox-Ingersoll-Ross, or Duffie-Kan models), the bond price is an exponential affine function. Using the forward measure the bond price is obtained by solving a linear ordinary differential equation; Ricatti equations are not required.
