Jan 19, 2016 at 9:29 comment added Xi'an You have to solve the integral to understand why $\mathbb{E}[\exp\{z_t\}] = \exp\{\mu+\sigma^2/2\}$. And following your notations, $d+\sigma R\sim\mathcal{N}(d,\sigma^2)$.

Jan 18, 2016 at 15:46 comment added user101051 Thanks so much for this explanation!! Can I ask, why is $\mathbb{E}[\exp\{z_t\}] = \exp\{\mu+\sigma^2/2\}$ and not $\mathbb{E}[\exp\{z_t\}] = \exp\{\mu\}$? Similarly, I'm unsure where the $\sigma R$ term on the lhs goes on the next line? Is it absorbed into the $+\sigma^2/2$ term? Thank you again!
