A neural network versus Black–Scholes: a comparison of pricing and hedging performances

An Erratum has been published for this article in Journal of Forecasting 22(6‐7) 2003, 551 The Black–Scholes formula is a well‐known model for pricing and hedging derivative securities. It relies, however, on several highly questionable assumptions. This paper examines whether a neural network (MLP) can be used to find a call option pricing formula better corresponding to market prices and the properties of the underlying asset than the Black–Scholes formula. The neural network method is applied to the out‐of‐sample pricing and delta‐hedging of daily Swedish stock index call options from 1997 to 1999. The relevance of a hedge‐analysis is stressed further in this paper. As benchmarks, the Black–Scholes model with historical and implied volatility estimates are used. Comparisons reveal that the neural network models outperform the benchmarks both in pricing and hedging performances. A moving block bootstrap is used to test the statistical significance of the results. Although the neural networks are superior, the results are sometimes insignificant at the 5% level.

R ＆ D STRATEGIC INVESTMENT IN AN ASYMMETRICAL CASE

This article analyzes R ＆ D investment decisions in an asymmetrical case. The investment decisions share three important characteristics. First, the investment is completely irreversible. Second, there are two kinds of uncertainties over the future returns from the investment and over technology in R ＆ D process, respectively. Third, there is strategic competition in the asymmetrical case. This article presents the optimal investment threshold values and the optimal investment rule of high-efficient firm （leader）, and shows that the investment threshold values are reduced by competition of two firms. Finally, the mixed investment strategies for two firms, the probability that each firm separately exercises the option to invest, and the probability that two firms simultaneously exercise the option are given in the paper.     

期权理论在高新企业价值评估中的应用

分析了高新技术企业特点，说明了传统的企业价值评估方法不能应用于对高新技术企业的评估。如果把高新技术企业投资看成是为了获得一个未来取得现金流的机会，高新技术企业具有期权性质，就可以用期权理论及Black-Scholes模型评估高新企业的价值。

Forecast accuracy after pretesting with an application to the stock market

In econometrics, as a rule, the same data set is used to select the model and, conditional on the selected model, to forecast. However, one typically reports the properties of the (conditional) forecast, ignoring the fact that its properties are affected by the model selection (pretesting). This is wrong, and in this paper we show that the error can be substantial. We obtain explicit expressions for this error. To illustrate the theory we consider a regression approach to stock market forecasting, and show that the standard predictions ignoring pretesting are much less robust than naive econometrics might suggest. We also propose a forecast procedure based on the ‘neutral Laplace estimator’, which leads to an improvement over standard model selection procedures. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

基于相对业绩比较的报酬契约与代理成本分析

有效的报酬契约是企业所有者激励经营者努力工作的最佳动力，该文在考虑了相对业绩比较信息条件下，运用委托代理理论探讨了将货币收入和享受闲暇作为经营者的激励物的最优报酬契约，分析了非对称信息条件下实施契约的代理成本，得出了经营者利润分享系数与影响因素之间的关系模型以及代理成本与影响因素之间的关系模型，该文还设计了经营者的股票期权激励机制，并地某些企业作了案例分析，文章阐明股票期权激励能够将经营者的长期行为和利益与企业的长期目标结合起来，是调动经营者积极性的有效手段。
