Abstract (sommario):

This paper deals with the problem of determining the correct risk measure for options in a Black–Scholes (BS) framework when time is discrete. For the purposes of hedging or testing simple asset pricing relationships previous papers used the "local", i.e., the continuous-time, BS beta as the measure of option risk even over discrete time intervals. We derive a closed-form solution for option betas over discrete return periods where we distinguish between "covariance betas" and "asset pricing betas". Both types of betas involve only simple Black–Scholes option prices and are thus easy to compute. However, the theoretical properties of these discrete betas are fundamentally different from those of local betas. We also analyze the impact of the return interval on two performance measures, the Sharpe ratio and the Treynor measure. The dependence of both measures on the return interval is economically significant, especially for OTM options.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Although there are many opinions critical of options, especially after the 2008 scandal, they are becoming increasingly popular in Poland again. Therefore, issues connected with options are not only the subject of interest in academic circles again but also arouse interest of economic entities, allowing enterprises to assess a variety of action strategies. Those instruments enable planning safeguards to protect against various negative future scenarios. Hence, it comes as no surprise that there has been an increase in the number and variety of enterprises that have accepted options as a way to plan for their future. The article provides a brief presentation of options. It also describes one of their pricing methods. Light of the foregoing has been hypothesized that 'valuation of options using mathematical calculators using the binomial model is an effective tool for supporting management positions in futures instruments’.

Abstract (sommario):

For its theoretical interest and strong impact on financial markets, option valuation is considered one of the cornerstones of contemporary mathematical finance. This paper specifically studies the valuation of exotic options with digital payoff and flexible payment plan. By means of the Incomplete Fourier Transform, the pricing problem is solved in order to find integral representations of the upfront price for European call and put options. Several applications in the areas of corporate finance, insurance, and real options are discussed. Finally, a new type of digital derivative named supercash option is introduced and some payment schemes are also presented.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper has proposed new option Greeks and new upper and lower bounds for European and American options. It shows that because of the put-call parity, the Greeks of put and call options are interconnected and should be shown simultaneously. In terms of the theory of the firm, it is found that both the Black-Scholes-Merton and the binomial option pricing models implicitly assume that maximizing the market value of the firm is not equivalent to maximizing the equityholders’ wealth. The binomial option pricing model implicitly assumes that further increasing (decreasing) the promised payment to debtholders affects neither the speed of decreasing (increasing) in the equity nor the speed of increasing (decreasing) in the insurance for the promised payment. The Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model implicitly assumes that further increasing (decreasing) in the promised payment to debtholders will: (1) decrease (increase) the speed of decreasing (increasing) in the equity though bounded by upper and lower bounds, and (2) increase (decrease) the speed of increasing (decreasing) in the insurance though bounded by upper and lower bounds. The paper also extends the put-call parity to include senior debt and convertible bond. It specifies the lower bound for risky debt and the conditions under which American put option will not be early exercised.

Abstract (sommario):

We suggest a modification of an American option such that the option holder can exercise the option early before the expiration and can revert later this decision to exercise; it can be repeated a number of times. This feature gives additional flexibility and risk protection for the option holder. A classification of these options and pricing rules are given. We found that the price of some call options with this feature is the same as for the European call. This means that the additional flexibility costs nothing, similarly to the situation with American and European call options. For the market model with zero interest rate, the price of put options with this feature is also the same as for the standard European put options. Therefore, these options can be more competitive than the standard American options.

Abstract (sommario):

After Geske (1979), compound options — options on options — have been employed in many fields in which real options are applied. The formula for a compound option is convenient to use in real project investment, but it has one drawback — the assets that underlie the compound options are usually non-tradable. This article addresses this issue and proposes two new compound option pricing formulae to overcome this drawback.

Abstract (sommario):

Interest rate, stock and option are all important parts of finance. This paper applies uncertain differential equation to the study of the evolution of interest rate and stock price separately. Based on actual observations, we estimate the parameters in uncertain differential equation with the method of moments. Using the introduced interest rate and stock models, we price European options and compare the results with actual observations. Finally, a paradox of the stochastic financial model is stated.

Abstract (sommario):

In the last few years new types of path-dependent options called corridor options or range options have become well-known derivative instruments in European options markets. Since the payout profiles of those options are based on occupation times of the underlying security the purpose of this paper is to provide closed form pricing formulae of Black & Scholes type for some significant representatives. Alternatively we demonstrate in this paper a relatively simple derivation of the Black & Scholes price for a single corridor option – based on a static portfolio representation – which does not make use of the distribution of occupation times (of Brownian motion). However, knowledge of occupation times' distributions is a more powerful tool.

Abstract (sommario):

Option pricing plays an important role in modern finance. This paper investigates the uncertain option pricing problems based on uncertainty theory by using the method to calculate the optimistic value of uncertain returns of options instead of the method of traditional expected value in the sense of the weighted average. The pricing formulas of the European and American options are derived for Liu’s uncertain stock model and Peng’s mean-reverting stock model which are two basic and representative uncertain stock models in uncertain finance. In the end, some numerical experiments are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.

Abstract (sommario):

I propose a model in which the price of an option is partly determined by macro-finance variables. In an application using an index of current business conditions, the new model outperforms existing benchmarks in fitting underlying asset returns and in pricing options. The model performs particularly well when business conditions are deteriorating. Using the recent financial crisis as an out-of-sample experiment, the new model has option-pricing errors that are 18% below those of a nested 2-component volatility benchmark. Results are robust to using alternative business conditions proxies and comparing to different benchmark models.

Abstract (sommario):

Starting a business is a complex process which requires multifaceted organisation and planning. Entrepreneurs begin with an idea which must immediately be tempered with the need to justify the creative concept, choose the business location, assess the competition and, most importantly, identify methods to finance it. This last task is the most crucial as, without capital, there will be no business. The majority of entrepreneurs face one fundamental problem; they rarely have the amount of capital required to see their ideas to fruition. Creating a business and executing a business plan requires finance. Given the global credit-crunch, it is pertinent that funding options available to entrepreneurs are investigated. An entrepreneur has numerous sources of finance to choose from. These range from funding provided by family or friends to various sources of debt and equity finance. This research aims to explore the financing of businesses in Ireland, to provide a more ...

Abstract (sommario):

The Provincial Finance Commissions were constituted in all four provinces of Pakistan in 2001. The Commissions were asked to formulate a formula for the distribution of resources among the districts in their respective province. The formula includes both transfers- the development transfer and current transfers. The purposes of the current transfers are to ensure the maintainability of existing services at the districts level and of the development grants to minimise the intradistrict poverty and inter-districts income differential. In this paper we compute the Rank Correlation between the existing development grants transfer index and the deprivation index. This will help the policy-makers understood whether the transfers are fiscal need based or not? That is to highlight to what extent the existing development transfers are based on the existing level of deprivation in the districts. If not, then what can be done to make the transfers pro-poor. To assist the policy maker in this regards this study carried out a simulation when 50 percent transfers are based on population and 50 percent on deprivation. This simulation will provide sufficient range in which the policy maker can exercise their discretion to minimise poverty and at the same time provide resources to maintain existing infrastructure. The distribution of funds among the districts which is based only on expenditure needs of the districts cannot help address poverty issue. The provinces therefore, have to use different indicators in the formula of PFC Award to achieve both objectives.

Abstract (sommario):

The reload provision in an employee stock option is an option enhancement that allows the employee to pay the strike upon exercising the stock option using his owned stocks and to receive new "reload" stock options. The usual Black–Scholes risk neutral valuation approach may not be appropriate to be adopted as the pricing vehicle for employee stock options, due to the non-transferability of the ownership of the options and the restriction on short selling of the firm's stocks as hedging strategy. In this paper, we present a general utility maximization framework to price non-tradeable employee stock options with reload provision. The risk aversion of the employee enters into the pricing model through the choice of the utility function. We examine how the value of the reload option to the employee is affected by the number of reloads outstanding, the risk aversion level and personal wealth. In particular, we explore how the reload provision may lower the difference between the cost of granting the option and the private option value and improve the compensation incentive of the option award.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine whether firms manage the total value of stock option grants downward after the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123R to reduce their reported option expenses. Design/methodology/approach – All Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 1500 firms with available stock option data in 2004 and 2006 are included in the analysis. The authors analyze if the total value of options granted, the per share fair value of options granted, the number of options granted as well as each individual input assumption have changed from the pre-SFAS 123R (i.e. 2004) to the post-SFAS 123R (i.e. 2006) period. We compare post-SFAS123R option pricing assumptions and per share fair value of options granted with their respective expected values to verify the results. We also analyze whether SFAS 123R has differential effects on firms which chose to disclose option expense only in footnotes (“disclosing firms”) versus firms which voluntarily recognized option expense (“recognizing firms”) prior to SFAS 123R. Findings – The results show that after SFAS 123R, the total fair value of stock options granted for disclosing firms declined significantly. The decrease appears to result from managerial discretion over volatility and dividend yield assumptions as well as the reduction in the number of options granted. The evidence suggests that firms engage in not only assumption-based manipulations but also real activities to lower reported stock option expenses. It was also found that disclosing firms lower the total fair value of stock options granted to a greater extent than recognizing firms. Originality/value – This study adds to prior literature that examines the opportunistic incentives for managers to use discretion in reporting stock option expenses. This study contributes to the earnings management literature by providing another example of manipulating earnings through real activities. Finally, our study should be of interest to regulators and investors.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to conduct an empirical analysis of the pattern of time value decay in listed equity options, considering both call and put options and different moneyness and maturity levels. Design/methodology/approach The research design is empirical, with great attention paid to creating a standardized measure of time value that can be both tracked over time for an individual option contract and meaningfully compared across two or more different option contracts. Findings The author finds that moneyness classification at the beginning of the holding period is the key determinant of the pattern of subsequent time decay. The type of option, call or put, and the maturity of the contract have surprisingly little relevance to the pattern of time decay “out-the-money contracts having similar patterns on average, regardless of whether they are calls or puts, 30-day or 60-day contracts.” More detailed analysis reveals that In-the-money and out-the-money contracts have slow time decay for most of the contract life, with a significant percentage of the time decay concentrated on the final day of the option. At-the-money contracts experience strong decay early in the life of the option. Research limitations/implications The study is limited by not having intra-day data included to analyze more frequent price movements. Practical implications The results reported in the paper provide insight into issues of active management facing options traders, specifically choices such as the initial maturity of the option contract and rollover frequency. Originality/value Very few studies examine the important issue of how option time value behaves. Time value is the subjective part of the option contract value, and therefore very difficult to predict and understand. This paper provides insight into typical empirical patterns of time value behavior.

Abstract (sommario):

We study models for electricity pricing and derivatives in the context of a deregulated market setting. In particular we value swing options, since these are the electricity derivatives that attract the most attention from market participants. These are American style options in that they allow for multiple exercises subject to a set of constraints on the consumption process. Through the use of a penalty function, we generalize the problem by allowing for the consumption restrictions to be broken. We characterize the price function as a stochastic optimal control problem, and show that the option is exercised in a bang-bang fashion. The value of the swing option is the solution to a backward stochastic differential equation, and we show how European calls, along with forward contracts, can be used to hedge them.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between option’s implied volatility smirk (IVS) and excess returns in the Germany’s leading stock index Deutscher-Aktien Index (DAX) 30. Design/methodology/approach – The study defines the IVS as the difference in implied volatility derived from out-of-the-money put options and at-the-money call options. This study employs the ordinary least square regression with Newey-West correction to analyse the relationship between IVS and excess DAX 30 index returns in Germany. Findings – The authors find that the German market adjusts information in an efficient way. Consequently, there is no information linkage between option volatility smirk and market index returns over the nine years sample period after considering the control variables, global financial crisis dummies, and the subsample test. Research limitations/implications – This study finds that the option market and the DAX 30 index are informationally efficient. Implications of the findings are that the investors cannot profit from the information contained in the IVS since the information is simultaneously incorporated into option prices and the stock index prices. The findings of this study are applicable to other markets with European options and for market participants who seek to exploit short-term market divergence from efficiency. Originality/value – The relationship between IVS and stock price changes has not been investigated sufficiently in academic literature. This study looks at this relationship in the context of European options using high-frequency transactions data. Prior studies look at this relationship for only American options using daily data. Pricing efficiency of the European option market using high-frequency data have not been studied in the prior literature. The authors find different results for the German market based on this high-frequency data set.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper studies the option pricing problem in a class of models in which dividend yields follow a time-homogeneous diffusion. Within this framework, we develop a new approach for valuing options based on the use of a regularized Fourier transform. We derive a pricing formula for European options which gives the option price in the form of an inverse Fourier transform and propose two methods for numerically implementing this formula. As an application of this pricing approach, we introduce the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck and the square-root dividend yield models in which we explicitly solve the pricing problem for European options. Finally we highlight the main effects of a stochastic dividend yield on option prices.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Oil and gas producers are familiar with the use of derivatives to hedge oil price risk.Beyond this, derivatives provide opportunities to enhance more general corporate finance activities.An example is raising finance for acquisitions or developments. When the maximum senior debt has been obtained, the choice between equity funding or other sources (such as subordinated debt) should also consider the up-front cash available from a structured derivative program—this may lower the overall cost of capital for the acquirer, and directly improve equity returns through lower dilution.A notable aspect of oil and gas production businesses is the high degree of embedded optionality. Option pricing methods can be used to value and monetise these real options—creating a new source of finance by transferring part of this embedded optionality to a party which can explicitly value and trade it.Generating value from real options (such as the opportunity to develop a proven, undeveloped reserve) can represent a critical source of finance.The value of such development assets is not fully recognised by traditional lending banks when the final investment decision remains some way off.By contrast, monetising real option value can provide funds at a point where they can be applied to appraisal drilling, thus funding the development of the project to a point where conventional debt or project-secured debt becomes feasible.Companies with both existing unhedged future production and a portfolio of PUD real options are best-placed to benefit from this source of finance.

Abstract (sommario):

Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) have gained prominence as a successful HR strategy that improves the employees’ performance and enables the company to have an economic and strategic advantage. However, the time at which employees decide to exercise their options determines the incentive that they derive from the stock options granted to them. It is one of the crucial financial decisions which can have immense implications for both employers and employees. According to the Black Scholes Model, an option's value is maximum when it is held until maturity. But most employees exercise their options early, which comes with a cost to both the employee and the company. It can be attributed to the fact that when faced with financial decisions the individuals do not always refer to complex finance models and formulas and make decisions rationally. Instead they resort to mental accounting and shortcuts leading to bounded rationality that can unconsciously impact their decision-making process. This paper explores the literature available on behavioral factors and biases that in addition to rational factors can affect the exercise of employee stock options.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper presents a generalization of forward start options under jump diffusion framework of Duffie et al. [Duffie, D, J Pan and K Singleton (2000). Transform analysis and asset pricing for affine jump-diffusions, Econometrica 68, 1343–1376.]. We assume, in addition, the short-term rate is governed by the CIR dynamics introduced in Cox et al. [Cox, JC, JE Ingersoll and SA Ross (1985). A theory of term structure of interest rates, Econometrica 53, 385–408.]. The instantaneous volatilities are correlated with the dynamics of the stock price process, whereas the short-term rate is assumed to be independent of the dynamics of the price process and its volatility. The main result furnishes a semi-analytical formula for the price of the Forward Start European call option.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper proposes an integrated process to recover the moments of the risk-neutral distribution using a Gram-Charlier expansion series and Rubinstein's implied binomial tree approach. The advantage of using the implied tree approach is that it accounts for the possibility of early exercise of American options. We apply the method to American-style options on Nikkei 225 futures. We then demonstrate how to use the implied moments for trading options.

Abstract (sommario):

The paper is focused on selected aspects of the hedging using of Nova 3 option strategy created by barrier options, which are appropriate tools widely used for risk management of high risk underlying assets. Financial risk management using option strategies is an effective solution for limiting the loss from underlying asset’s price development. The Nova 3 option strategy is suitable for hedging against increase in price of the underlying asset in case of its purchase in future. In our approach, European up and knock-in call options together with standard put and barrier put options are used for investigation of hedging strategies in increasing markets. Theoretical models of suitable hedged profit functions in analytical expressions are analyzed also from their benefits and risks point of view. Created combinations of these hedging variants have to meet the requirements of zero-cost option strategy. Based on the own theoretical results, the hedged profit portfolio is applied to SPDR Gold Shares, where due to the lack of data on real barrier option premiums, these were calculated according to Haug model. Designed secured variants through Nova 3 option strategy were analyzed and compared to each other with the recommendations of the best possibilities for investors

Abstract (sommario):

In this article we examine the pricing of options when trading noise and uncertainty in the options markets invalidates the assumption that the price of the option depends solely on the price of the underlying security (or any set of underlying state variables). We show that the introduction of trading noise in the options market affects the call-put parity relationship, and can also contribute to generate implied volatility skews.

Abstract (sommario):

Every maturity-dependent derivative contract entails a term structure. For example, when the value of the portfolio consisting of a long position in a stock and a short position in a vanilla option is expressed in units of its instantaneous exercise value, the resulting quantity defines a discount function. Thus, the derivative of the discount function with respect to the time left until maturity defines a term structure density function, and the "hazard rate" associated with the discount function determines the forward rates for the vanilla option portfolio. The dynamics associated with these quantities are obtained in the complete market setting. In particular, one can model vanilla options based on the associated forward rates. The formulation based on forward rates for options extends the approach based on modeling the implied volatility process. As an illustrative example, the initial term structure of the Black–Scholes model is considered. It is shown in this example that the implied volatility smile has the effect of making the option forward rates homogeneous across different strikes.

Abstract (sommario):

Stock and options markets can disagree about a stock’s value because of informed trading in options and/or price pressure in the stock. The predictability of stock returns based on this cross-market discrepancy in values is especially strong when accompanied by stock price pressure, and it does not depend on trading in options. We argue that option-implied prices provide an anchor for fundamental stock values that helps to distinguish stock price movements resulting from pressure versus news. Overall, our results are consistent with stock price pressure being the primary driver of the option price-based stock return predictability. This paper was accepted by Tyler Shumway, finance.

Abstract (sommario):

Research has been conducted to compare the prices of European option on the Yahoo Finance website with prices obtained from the Black-Scholes model (theoretical price). Data was taken on January 31, 2019 which included the daily share price of Netflix, Inc. (NFLX) on February 14, 2018 - January 31, 2019 to obtain volatility, and NFLX options data due on January 17, 2020. Options with prices lower than theoretical prices are said to be underpriced, so the decision taken is to buy the options. Whereas options with prices higher than theoretical prices are said to be overpriced, so it has to be reconsidered. The proportion of the underpriced call options for the total number of call options is 77.7778%, while the proportion of the underpriced put options for the total number of put options is 38.5714%.

Abstract (sommario):

We study the optimal exercise of American options under incomplete information about the drift of the underlying process, and we show that quite unexpected phenomena may occur. In fact, certain parameter values give rise to stopping regions very different from the standard case of complete information. For example, we show that for the American put (call) option it is sometimes optimal to exercise the option when the underlying process reaches an upper (lower) boundary.

Abstract (sommario):

Purpose – Leveraged exchange traded funds (ETFs) have become increasingly popular since their introduction in 2006. In recent years, options on leveraged ETFs have been promoted as a means of enhancing returns and reducing risk. The purpose of this paper is to examine the interchangeability of S & P 500 ETF options with leveraged S & P 500 ETF options and to what extent these options allow investors to manage their risk exposure. Design/methodology/approach – With increasing liquidity for these fund’s options, simple option strategies such as covered calls and protective puts can be implemented. This study derives call-call and put-put parity between options on the underlying index and the associated leveraged ETFs. The paper examines comparative measures of return and risk on the underlying indices, along with covered call and protective put positions. Findings – Using the formulations derived, this study shows options on non-leveraged ETFs or on the underlying index can be substituted for leveraged ETF options. Empirical results suggest substituting options on leveraged ETFs with options on the underlying index or index ETF give comparable results, but can differ as the realized leverage ratio over time differs from projected values. Originality/value – This study is the first to the authors’ knowledge that investigates option strategies on leveraged and inverse ETFs of equity indices. It is also the first to derive call-call and put-put parity relations between options on ETFs and related leveraged and inverse ETFs. The results contribute to securities issuance, investment strategies, and option parity relations.

Abstract (sommario):

This paper is a contribution to the pricing and hedging of options in a market where the volatility is stochastic. The new concept of relative indifference pricing is further developed. This relative price is the price at which an option trader is indifferent to trade in an additional option, given that he is currently holding and dynamically hedging a portfolio of options. We find that the appropriate volatility risk premium depends on the trader's risk aversion coefficient and his portfolio position before selling or buying the additional option. We suggest two asymptotic expansions which relate the volatility risk premium to the Vega of the option portfolio. This approach provides a tool for traders to (i) integrate option pricing with risk management and (ii) quote competitive prices that depend on their aggregate risk exposure.
