Option Pricing When Changes of the Underlying Asset Prices Are Restricted
نویسندگان
چکیده
Exchanges often impose daily limits for asset price changes. These restrictions have a direct impact on the prices of options traded on these assets. In this paper, we derive closed-form solution of option pricing formula when there are restrictions on changes in underlying asset prices. Using numerical examples, we illustrate that very often the impact of such restrictions on option prices is substantial.

When are Options Overpriced? The Black-Scholes Model and Alternative Characterisations of the Pricing Kernel. G unter Franke
An important determinant of option prices is the elasticity of the pricing kernel used to price all claims in the economy. In this paper, we rst show that for a given forward price of the underlying asset, option prices are higher when the elasticity of the pricing kernel is declining than when it is constant. We then investigate the implications of the elasticity of the pricing kernel for the ...

متن کاملA reduced lattice model for option pricing under regime-switching
We present a binomial approach for pricing contingent claims when the parameters governing the underlying asset process follow a regime-switching model. In each regime, the asset dynamics is discretized by a Cox-Ross-Rubinstein lattice derived by a simple transformation of the parameters characterizing the highest volatility tree, which allows a simultaneous representation of the asset value in...
متن کاملLocal vs Non-local Forward Equations for Option Pricing
When the underlying asset is a continuous martingale, call option prices solve the Dupire equation, a forward parabolic PDE in the maturity and strike variables. By contrast, when the underlying asset is described by a discontinuous semimartingale, call prices solve a partial integro-differential equation (PIDE), containing a non-local integral term. We show that the two classes of equations sh...
