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

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

They are constructed by compound Poisson process and continuum percolation model separately. Combining the two models, the authors get a Levy process for the price fluctuation that can explain the fat-tail phenomenon in stock market.
