This article examines option valuation in a general equilibrium framework. We focus on the general equilibrium implications of price dynamics for option valuation. The general equilibrium considerations allow us to derive an alternative option valuation formula that is as simple as the Black and Scholes formula, and that exhibits different behavior with respect to the exercise price and time to expiration. They also help us clarify comparative-statics properties of option valuation formulas in general and of the Black and Scholes model in particular. 相似文献

Abstract This paper develops a family of option pricing models when the underlying stock price dynamic is modelled by a regime switching process in which prices remain in one volatility regime for a random amount of time before switching over into a new regime. Our family includes the regime switching models of Hamilton (Hamilton J 1989 Econometrica 57 357–84), in which volatility influences returns. In addition, our models allow for feedback effects from returns to volatilities. Our family also includes GARCH option models as a special limiting case. Our models are more general than GARCH models in that our variance updating schemes do not only depend on levels of volatility and asset innovations, but also allow for a second factor that is orthogonal to asset innovations. The underlying processes in our family capture the asymmetric response of volatility to good and bad news and thus permit negative (or positive) correlation between returns and volatility. We provide the theory for pricing options under such processes, present an analytical solution for the special case where returns provide no feedback to volatility levels, and develop an efficient algorithm for the computation of American option prices for the general case. 相似文献

In this paper, we develop a closed-form option pricing model with the stock sentiment and option sentiment. First, the model shows that the price of call option is amplified by bullish stock sentiment, and is reduced by stock bearish sentiment, and the price of put option is in the opposite situation. Second, the price of call option is more sensitive to bullish stock sentiment; the price of put option is more sensitive to bearish stock sentiment. Third, the price of call option increases substantially with respect to the stock sentiment and the option sentiment. The price of put option decreases substantially with respect to the stock sentiment, increases substantially with respect to the option sentiment. Fourth, our models also reveal that the option volatility smile is steeper (flatter) when the stock sentiment becomes more bearish (bullish). Finally, stock sentiment and option sentiment lead to the option price deviating from the rational price. The model could offer a partial explanation of some option anomalies: option price bubbles and option volatility smile. 相似文献

This paper considers the pricing of European options on assets that follow a stochastic differential equation with a quadratic
volatility term. We correct several errors in the existing literature, extend the pricing formulas to arbitrary root configurations,
and list alternative representations of option pricing formulas to improve computational performance. Our exposition is based
entirely on probabilistic arguments, adding a fresh perspective and new intuition to the existing PDE-dominated literature
on the subject. Our main tools are martingale methods and shifts of probability measures; the fact that the underlying process
is typically a strict local martingale is carefully considered throughout the paper. 相似文献

This paper carries out a comparative analysis of the calibration and performance of a variety of options pricing models. These include Black and Scholes (J Polit Econ 81:637–659, 1973), the Gram–Charlier (GC) approach of Backus et al. (1997), the stochastic volatility (HS) model of Heston (Rev Financ Stud 6:327–343, 1993), the closed-form GARCH process of Heston and Nandi (Rev Financ Stud 13:585–625, 2000) and a variety of Lévy processes including the Variance Gamma (VG), Normal Inverse Gaussian (NIG), and, CGMY and Kou (Manag Sci 48:1086–1101, 2002) jump-diffusion models. Unlike most studies of option pricing, we compare these models using a common point-in-time data which reflects the perspective of a new investor who wishes to choose between models using only the most minimal recent data set. For each of these models, we also examine the accuracy of delta and delta-gamma approximations to the valuation of both individual options and an illustrative option portfolio. 相似文献

Empirical studies have concluded that stochastic volatility is an important component of option prices. We introduce a regime-switching mechanism into a continuous-time Capital Asset Pricing Model which naturally induces stochastic volatility in the asset price. Under this Stressed-Beta model, the mechanism is relatively simple: the slope coefficient—which measures asset returns relative to market returns—switches between two values, depending on the market being above or below a given level. After specifying the model, we use it to price European options on the asset. Interestingly, these option prices are given explicitly as integrals with respect to known densities. We find that the model is able to produce a volatility skew, which is a prominent feature in option markets. This opens the possibility of forward-looking calibration of the slope coefficients, using option data, as illustrated in the paper. 相似文献

Option pricing and the martingale restriction 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the absence of frictions, the value of the under-lying assetimplied by option prices must equal its actual market value.With frictions, however, this requirement need not hold. UsingS&P 100 index options data, I find that the implied costof the index is significantly higher in the options market thanin the stock market, and is directly related to measures oftransaction costs and liquidity. I show that the Black-Scholesmodel has strong bid-ask spread, trading volume, and open interestbiases. Option pricing models that relax the martingale restrictionperform significantly better. 相似文献

Models in financial economics derived from no-arbitrage assumptions have found great favour among theoreticians and practitioners. We develop a model of option prices where arbitrage is short lived. The arbitrage process is Ornstein–Uhlenbeck with zero mean and rapid adjustment of deviations. We find that arbitrage correlated with the underlying can have sizeable impact on option prices. We use data from five large capitalization firms to test implications of the model. Consistent with the existence of arbitrage, we find that idiosyncratic factors significantly effect arbitrage model parameters. 相似文献

We propose a two-stage procedure to estimate conditional beta pricing models that allows for flexibility in the dynamics of asset betas and market prices of risk (MPR). First, conditional betas are estimated nonparametrically for each asset and period using the time-series of previous data. Then, time-varying MPR are estimated from the cross-section of returns and betas. We prove the consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators. We also perform Monte Carlo simulations for the conditional version of the three-factor model of Fama and French (1993) and show that nonparametrically estimated betas outperform rolling betas under different specifications of beta dynamics. Using return data on the 25 size and book-to-market sorted portfolios, we find that the nonparametric procedure produces a better fit of the three-factor model to the data, less biased estimates of MPR and lower pricing errors than the Fama–MacBeth procedure with betas estimated under several alternative parametric specifications. 相似文献

In a recent paper Lee et al. derive a pricing formula which is significantly different from that of Black and Scholes. Their derivation is inconsistent due to their failure to recognize that the rate of return of an option written on an asset whose rate of return is lognormally distributed will not be lognormally distributed. 相似文献

We study a Gamma-modulated diffusion process as a long-memory generalization of the standard Black-Scholes model. This model introduces a time dependent volatility. The option pricing problem associated with this type of processes is computed. 相似文献

In this paper we develop a novel market model where asset variances–covariances evolve stochastically. In addition shocks
on asset return dynamics are assumed to be linearly correlated with shocks driving the variance–covariance matrix. Analytical
tractability is preserved since the model is linear-affine and the conditional characteristic function can be determined explicitly.
Quite remarkably, the model provides prices for vanilla options consistent with observed smile and skew effects, while making
it possible to detect and quantify the correlation risk in multiple-asset derivatives like basket options. In particular,
it can reproduce and quantify the asymmetric conditional correlations observed on historical data for equity markets. As an
illustrative example, we provide explicit pricing formulas for rainbow “Best-of” options. 相似文献

Recent empirical studies suggest that the volatilities associated with financial time series exhibit short-range correlations. This entails that the volatility process is very rough and its autocorrelation exhibits sharp decay at the origin. Another classic stylistic feature often assumed for the volatility is that it is mean reverting. In this paper it is shown that the price impact of a rapidly mean reverting rough volatility model coincides with that associated with fast mean reverting Markov stochastic volatility models. This reconciles the empirical observation of rough volatility paths with the good fit of the implied volatility surface to models of fast mean reverting Markov volatilities. Moreover, the result conforms with recent numerical results regarding rough stochastic volatility models. It extends the scope of models for which the asymptotic results of fast mean reverting Markov volatilities are valid. The paper concludes with a general discussion of fractional volatility asymptotics and their interrelation. The regimes discussed there include fast and slow volatility factors with strong or small volatility fluctuations and with the limits not commuting in general. The notion of a characteristic term structure exponent is introduced, this exponent governs the implied volatility term structure in the various asymptotic regimes. 相似文献

Option pricing and Esscher transform under regime switching 总被引:10,自引:1,他引:10
Summary We consider the option pricing problem when the risky underlying assets are driven by Markov-modulated Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM). That is, the market parameters, for instance, the market interest rate, the appreciation rate and the volatility of the underlying risky asset, depend on unobservable states of the economy which are modelled by a continuous-time Hidden Markov process. The market described by the Markov-modulated GBM model is incomplete in general and, hence, the martingale measure is not unique. We adopt a regime switching random Esscher transform to determine an equivalent martingale pricing measure. As in Miyahara [33], we can justify our pricing result by the minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM).We would like to thank the referees for many helpful and insightful comments and suggestions.Correspondence to: R.

In this paper we compare the out-of-sample performance of two common extensions of the Black–Scholes option pricing model, namely GARCH and stochastic volatility (SV). We calibrate the three models to intraday FTSE 100 option prices and apply two sets of performance criteria, namely out-of-sample valuation errors and Value-at-Risk (VaR) oriented measures. When we analyze the fit to observed prices, GARCH clearly dominates both SV and the benchmark Black–Scholes model. However, the predictions of the market risk from hypothetical derivative positions show sizable errors. The fit to the realized profits and losses is poor and there are no notable differences between the models. Overall, we therefore observe that the more complex option pricing models can improve on the Black–Scholes methodology only for the purpose of pricing, but not for the VaR forecasts. 相似文献

This article presents the theory of option pricing with random volatilities in complete markets. As such, it makes two contributions. First, the newly developed martingale measure technique is used to synthesize results dating from Merton (1973) through Eisenberg, (1985, 1987). This synthesis illustrates how Merton's formula, the CEV formula, and the Black-Scholes formula are special cases of the random volatility model derived herein. The impossibility of obtaining a self-financing trading strategy to duplicate an option in incomplete markets is demonstrated. This omission is important because option pricing models are often used for risk management, which requires the construction of synthetic options.Second, we derive a new formula, which is easy to interpret and easy to program, for pricing options given a random volatility. This formula (for a European call option) is seen to be a weighted average of Black-Scholes values, and is consistent with recent empirical studies finding evidence of mean-reversion in volatilities.Helpful comments from an anonymous referee are greatly appreciated. 相似文献
