Knight不确定性条件下的期权价格上下界

主流期权定价理论总是对标的资产价格过程的分布给出严格假设,而没有考虑Knight不确定性。本文放松标的资产价格过程的严格假设,在仅知到期日标的资产价格的一阶矩和二阶矩的条件下对期权进行定价。由于信息不充分及分布不确定,无法得到精确的期权价格,因此本文推导出在有限信息条件下期权价格的上下界的显性表达式,并对此上下界和Black-Scholes价格进行对比分析。在使用香港恒生指数权证数据进行的实证中发现,市场价格确实介于上下界之间,上下界区间随年化波动率及剩余存续期的减小而缩小。此外,与Black-Scholes价格进行对比后发现,上下界加权价格能对市场价格做出更为稳健的预测。

Upper and Lower Bounds on Option Prices under Knightian Uncertainty

Mainstream option pricing theories were always based on the strict assumptions about underlying asset price process,which did not take Knightian uncertainty into consideration.In this article,those strict assumptions are relaxed and options are priced with only first and second order moment information.Due to insufficient information and the uncertainty of underlying price distribution,the option price can not be priced accurately.Explicit Functions of upper and lower bounds for option prices under Knightia...
