Abstract
Geometric mean reversion plays a fundamental role in economic dynamic models. While it is known, at least since Merton (1975) [9], that the equilibrium distribution of geometric mean reversion is a Gamma distribution, an explicit expression for the non-equilibrium distribution has not been known. In this article we compute the probability density function of X(t) where X(·) represents a general geometric mean reversion process.
