Abstract: By using a general semimartingale framework, we show how the transformation of an optimal stopping problem under the objective probability measure into an optimal stopping problem under the risk-neutral probability measure looks like. We also note that the difference between equivalent and a locally equivalent are important when considering infinite time horizons (i.e., when considering perpetual options).
