Formulas that can be used to evaluate the options are obtained, which include not only the elements of an option: the price of the call option, the exercise price and the expiration date, but also the riskless interest rate, nevertheless exclude the volatility of the underlying asset. In practice, the evaluated results obtained by these formulas can provide references of making strategic decision for an investor who buys the call option and a company who sells the call option.展开更多

The volatility of the dividends model depends on the Markov-Modulated process. The binomial tree method, in which a more accurate factor has been used, is applied to solve the corresponding pricing problem. Finally, a numerical example with simulations is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

To price the option, we firstly establish a risk-neutral probability based on the uncertain measure given by Liu. Then a closed form of the European option pricing formula is obtained by applying the Laplace transforms and the inverse Laplace transforms.展开更多
