The model is based on nonparametric statistical methods with market data. It incorporates the kernel estimator and employs a three-step method to modify Black- Scholes formula. The model overcomes the limits of Black-Scholes formula in handling option prices with varied volatility. It disposes the effects of ESOs self-characteristics such as non-tradability, the longer term for expiration, the eady exercise feature, the restriction on shorting selling and the employee＇s risk aversion on risk neutral pricing condition, and can be applied to ESOs valuation with the explanatory variable in no matter the certainty case or random case.展开更多

Applications are demonstrated on pricing some vulnerable options with the payoff functions including two stochastic processes： the underlying stock price and the assets value of the option writer. Instead of building a bivariate tree structure for these correlated processes, a univariate binomial tree for the underlying stock price is only constructed. The proposed univariate binomial tree model is sufficient to undertake, though two underlying assets are involved.展开更多

文摘We proposed a new model to price employee stock options （ESOs）. The model is based on nonparametric statistical methods with market data. It incorporates the kernel estimator and employs a three-step method to modify Black- Scholes formula. The model overcomes the limits of Black-Scholes formula in handling option prices with varied volatility. It disposes the effects of ESOs self-characteristics such as non-tradability, the longer term for expiration, the eady exercise feature, the restriction on shorting selling and the employee＇s risk aversion on risk neutral pricing condition, and can be applied to ESOs valuation with the explanatory variable in no matter the certainty case or random case.
