This paper suggests a new Fourier analysis approach to evaluate the option prices and its sensitivities (Greeks) using the binomial tree model. In the last half of this paper, we show that option prices are efficiently and effectively evaluated using a semi-closed form formula for European option prices. We can compute option prices in a broad class of jump-diffusion models because we calculate the characteristic function for an underlying asset price numerically. Furthermore, we also compute the price of European options in the exp-Levy model. This numerical experiment gives new insights into option pricing in the nonparametric Levy model. The option prices and sensitivities can be computed very accurately and efficiently, even in binomial tree models with jumps.

This note contains two main results. (i) (Discrete time) Suppose that S is a martingale whose marginal laws agree with a geometric simple random walk. (In financial terms, let S be a risk-neutral asset price and suppose that the initial option prices agree with the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial tree model.) Then S is a geometric simple random walk. (ii) (Continuous time) Suppose that S=S0eσ X-σ2〈 X〉/2 is a continuous martingale whose marginal laws agree with a geometric Brownian motion. (In financial terms, let S be a risk-neutral asset price and suppose that the initial option prices agree with the Black-Scholes model with volatility σ>0.) Then there exists a Brownian motion W such that Xt=Wt+o(t1/4+ ε) as t↑∞ for any ε> 0.

Holding option contracts are considered as a new way to invest. In pricing the option contracts, an investor can apply the binomial tree method. The aim of this paper is to present how the European option contracts are calculated using binomial tree method with some different choices of strike prices. Then, the results are compared with the Black-Scholes method. The results obtained show the prices of call options contracts of European type calculated by the binomial tree method tends to be cheaper compared with the price of that calculated by the Black-Scholes method. In contrast to the put option prices, the prices calculated by the binomial tree method are slightly more expensive.

We develop a recombining tree method for pricing of options by using a general two-factor stochastic-variance (SV) diffusion model for asset price dynamics. We show that it is possible to construct a riskless hedge by including additional short-term options in the hedging portfolio. This procedure gives us Partial Differential Equation (PDE) that can be solved by using standard numerical techniques giving us a unique option's price. We show that the option's price does not depend on the long run volatility forecast but only on the parameters of the model, which are related to the volatility of variance. We show one particular transformation of PDE to the Finite Difference Equation (FDE) that leads to the three-dimensional lattice method similar to the standard binomial-tree method. Our tree grows in the price-variance space and similarly to the binomial-tree, the coefficients of the FDE can be interpreted as risk neutral probabilities for jumping between the tree nodes. By investigating an error accumulation in the tree we found the stability criterion and the method that can be applied in order to achieve a stabile procedure. Our option pricing method can be used for European and American options and various payoffs. Since the procedure converges quickly and can be easily implemented, we believe that it could be useful for practitioners. The SV model we used here was shown earlier to be a diffusion limit of various GARCH-type models giving the possibility of using parameters obtained in the discrete-time GARCH framework as an input for our option pricing method.

This paper develops simple and efficient tree approaches for option pricing in switching jump diffusion models where the rates of switching are assumed to depend on the underlying asset price process. The models generalize many existing models in the literature and in particular, the Markovian regime-switching models with jumps. The proposed trees grow linearly as the number of tree steps increases. Conditions on the choices of key parameters for the tree design are provided that guarantee the positivity of branch probabilities. Numerical results are provided and compared with results reported in the literature for the Markovian regime-switching cases. The reported numerical results for the state-dependent switching models are new and can be used for comparison in the future.
