  • An Empirical Investigation of the Black- Scholes Call
    International Journal of BRIC Business Research (IJBBR) Volume 6, Number 2, May 2017 AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE BLACK - SCHOLES CALL OPTION PRICING MODEL WITH REFERENCE TO NSE Rajesh Kumar 1 and Rachna Agrawal 2 1Research Scholar, Department of Management Studies 2Associate Professor, Department of Management Studies YMCA University of Science and Technology, Faridabad, Haryana, India ABSTRACT This paper investigates the efficiency of Black-Scholes model used for valuation of call option contracts written on Eight Indian stocks quoted on NSE. It has been generally observed that the B & S Model misprices options considerably on several occasions and the volatilities are ‘high for options which are highly overpriced. Mispriced worsen with the increased in volatility of the underlying stocks. In most of cases options are also highly underpriced by the model. In this research paper, the theoretical options prices of Nifty stock call options are calculated under the B & S Model. These theoretical prices are compared with the actual quoted prices in the market to gauge the pricing accuracy. KEYWORDS Black-Scholes Model, standard deviation, Mean Error, Root Mean Squared Error, Thiel’s Inequality coefficient etc. 1. INTRODUCTION An effective security market provides three principal opportunities- trading equities, debt securities and derivative products. For the purpose of risk management and trading, the pricing theories of stock options have occupied important place in derivative market. These theories range from relatively undemanding binomial model to more complex B & S Model (1973). The Black-Scholes option pricing model is a landmark in the history of Derivative. This preferred model provides a closed analytical view for the valuation of European style options.

Introduction We consider the Black Model for futures/forwards which is the market standard for quoting prices (via implied volatilities). Black[1976] considered the problem of writing options on commodity futures and this was the first \natural" extension of the Black-Scholes model. This model also is used to price options on interest rates and interest rate sensitive instruments such as bonds. Since the Black-Scholes analysis assumes constant (or deterministic) interest rates, and so forward interest rates are realised, it is difficult initially to see how this model applies to interest rate dependent derivatives. However, if f is a forward interest rate, it can be shown that it is consistent to assume that • The discounting process can be taken to be the existing yield curve. • The forward rates are stochastic and log-normally distributed. The forward rates will be log-normally distributed in what is called the T -forward measure, where T is the pay date of the option.

  • Dixit-Pindyck and Arrow-Fisher-Hanemann-Henry Option Concepts in a Finance Framework
    Dixit-Pindyck and Arrow-Fisher-Hanemann-Henry Option Concepts in a Finance Framework January 12, 2015 Abstract We look at the debate on the equivalence of the Dixit-Pindyck (DP) and Arrow-Fisher- Hanemann-Henry (AFHH) option values. Casting the problem into a financial framework allows to disentangle the discussion without unnecessarily introducing new definitions. Instead, the option values can be easily translated to meaningful terms of financial option pricing. We find that the DP option value can easily be described as time-value of an American plain-vanilla option, while the AFHH option value is an exotic chooser option. Although the option values can be numerically equal, they differ for interesting, i.e. non-trivial investment decisions and benefit-cost analyses. We find that for applied work, compared to the Dixit-Pindyck value, the AFHH concept has only limited use. Keywords: Benefit cost analysis, irreversibility, option, quasi-option value, real option, uncertainty. Abbreviations: i.e.: id est; e.g.: exemplum gratia. 1 Introduction In the recent decades, the real options1 concept gained a large foothold in the strat- egy and investment literature, even more so with Dixit & Pindyck (1994)'s (DP) seminal volume on investment under uncertainty. In environmental economics, the importance of irreversibility has already been known since the contributions of Arrow & Fisher (1974), Henry (1974), and Hanemann (1989) (AFHH) on quasi-options. As Fisher (2000) notes, a unification of the two option concepts would have the benefit of applying the vast results of real option pricing in environmental issues. In his 1The term real option has been coined by Myers (1977).

Tech., Electrical Engineering (2003), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Mumbai Submitted to the Sloan School of Management on July 03, 2008, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Operations Research Abstract In this thesis we study three problems related to financial modeling. First, we study the problem of pricing Employee Stock Options (ESOs) from the point of view of the issuing company. Since an employee cannot trade or effectively hedge ESOs, she exercises them to maximize a subjective criterion of value. Modeling this exercise behavior is key to pricing ESOs. We argue that ESO exercises should not be modeled on a one by one basis, as is commonly done, but at a portfolio level because exercises related to different ESOs that an employee holds would be coupled. Using utility based models we also show that such coupled exercise behavior leads to lower average ESO costs for the commonly used utility functions such as power and exponential utilities.

H¨ardle CASE - Center for Applied Statistics and Economics Humboldt-Universit¨atzu Berlin Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakult¨at Spandauer Strasse 1, 10178 Berlin, Germany Abstract Option pricing models are calibrated to market data of plain vanil- las by minimization of an error functional. From the economic view- point, there are several possibilities to measure the error between the market and the model. These different specifications of the error give rise to different sets of calibrated model parameters and the resulting prices of exotic options vary significantly. These price differences often exceed the usual profit margin of exotic options. We provide evidence for this calibration risk in a time series of DAX implied volatility surfaces from April 2003 to March 2004. We analyze in the Heston and in the Bates model factors influencing these price differences of exotic options and finally recommend an error func- tional.
