Cox-Ingersoll-Ross Stochastic Clocks

In this post, we consider stochastic clocks whose instantaneous rate of activity follows a square root process. We present all intermediate steps in the derivation of the characteristic function of the corresponding time change. The corresponding steps closely resemble those in the derivation of the zero-coupon bond price in the Cox et al. (1985) model for the short-term interest rate.
