摘要
The changes of numeraire can be used as a very powerful mean in pricing contingent claims in the context of a complete market. We apply the method of nurmeraire changes to evaluate convertible bonds when the instantaneous growth and variance of the value of issuer and those of zero-coupon bonds follow a general adapted stochastic process in this paper. A closed-form solution is derived when the instantaneous growth and variance of the value of issuer and those of zero-coupon bonds are deterministic function of time. We also consider a special case when the asset price follows GBM （Geometric Brownian Motion） and interest rate follows Vasicek＇s model.
