Abstract: | This paper examines some implications of using an estimate of the variance in option valuation models. This procedure produces biased option values. It is shown that the magnitude of this bias is not large. The dispersion induced in the option price is more significant particularly for parameter values of practical interest. The nature and extent of this dispersion is examined by numerical examples. The paper suggests how a Bayesian approach could be used to cope with the estimation error. |
