Abstract

This note is aimed at familiarizing the reader with state space geometry, a useful tool in teaching asset pricing concepts. Building on the analogy between expectation and dot product, I visualize basic notions using Euclidean geometry in 2D and 3D. Numerical examples are given such that the reader could easily follow the explanations.

Keywords: asset pricing, state space geometry, projection
