In this work, we discuss some very simple and extremely efficient lattice models, namely, Binomial tree model (BTM) and Trinomial tree model (TTM) for valuing some types of exotic barrier options in details. For both these models, we consider the concept of random walks in the simulation of the path which is followed by the underlying stock price. Our main objective is to estimate the value of barrier options by using BTM and TTM for different time steps and compare these with the exact values obtained by the benchmark Black-Scholes model (BSM). Moreover, we analyze the convergence of these lattice models for these exotic options. All the results have been shown numerically as well as graphically. GANITJ. Bangladesh Math.

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.

This article applies the classic Black-Scholes model (i.e. B-S model) and turnover rate adapted B-S model (revised B-S model) to equity incentive valuation of listed companies. Unlike other studies on equity incentive valuation which generally adopt historical volatility, this article applies the GARCH model to equity incentive valuation. The volatility of stock price is estimated by the GARCH model to improve the accuracy of equity incentive valuation. The turnover rate has an important impact on the equity incentive valuation of listed companies. Considering the turnover rate can improve the accuracy of the equity incentive valuation and reduce the error of equity incentive valuation. Through the case study of the equity incentive valuation of Infinova, the practicality of the equity incentive valuation method is further verified.

Using backward stochastic difference equations (BSDEs), this paper studies dynamic convex risk measures for risky positions in a simple discrete-time, binomial tree model. A relationship between BSDEs and dynamic convex risk measures is developed using nonlinear expectations. The time consistency of dynamic convex risk measures is discussed in the binomial tree framework. A relationship between prices and risks is also established. Two particular cases of dynamic convex risk measures, namely risk measures with stochastic distortions and entropic risk measures, and their mathematical properties are discussed.

The Black-Scholes model is derived under the assumption that heding is done instantaneously. In practice, there is a “small” time that elapses between buying or selling the option and hedging using the underlying asset. Under the following assumptions used in the standard Black-Scholes analysis, the value of the option will depend only on the price of the underlying asset S, time t and on other Variables assumed constants. These assumptions or “ideal conditions” as expressed by Black-Scholes are the following. The option us European, The short term interest rate is known, The underlying asset follows a random walk with a variance rate proportional to the stock price. It pays no dividends or other distributions. There is no transaction costs and short selling is allowed, i.e. an investment can sell a security that he does not own. Trading takes place continuously and the standard form of the capital market model holds at each instant. The last assumption can be modified because in practice, trading does not take place in-stantaneouly and simultaneously in the option and the underlying asset when implementing the hedging strategy. We will modify this assumption to account for the “lag”. The lag corresponds to the elapsed time between buying or selling the option and buying or selling - delta units of the underlying assets. The main attractions of the Black-Scholes model are that their formula is a function of “observable” variables and that the model can be extended to the pricing of any type of option. All the assumptions are conserved except the last one.
