We consider backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with a particular quadratic generator and study the behaviour of their solu- tions when the probability measure is changed, the filtration is shrunk, or the underlying probability space is transformed. Our main results are upper bounds for the solutions of the original BSDEs in terms of solutions to other BSDEs which are easier to solve. We illustrate our results by applying them to exponential utility indifference valuation in a multidimensional Itˆo process setting.
