Abstract:
The paper is focused on selected aspects of the hedging using of Nova 3 option strategy created by barrier options, which are appropriate tools widely used for risk management of high risk underlying assets. Financial risk management using option strategies is an effective solution for limiting the loss from underlying asset’s price development. The Nova 3 option strategy is suitable for hedging against increase in price of the underlying asset in case of its purchase in future. In our approach, European up and knock-in call options together with standard put and barrier put options are used f

Abstract:
This paper deals with the problem of determining the correct risk measure for options in a Black–Scholes (BS) framework when time is discrete. For the purposes of hedging or testing simple asset pricing relationships previous papers used the "local", i.e., the continuous-time, BS beta as the measure of option risk even over discrete time intervals. We derive a closed-form solution for option betas over discrete return periods where we distinguish between "covariance betas" and "asset pricing betas". Both types of betas involve only simple Black–Scholes option prices and are thus easy to comput

For its theoretical interest and strong impact on financial markets, option valuation is considered one of the cornerstones of contemporary mathematical finance.

We provide a new framework for valuing multidimensional real options where opportunities to exercise the option are generated by an exogenous Poisson process, which can be viewed as a liquidity constraint on decision times. This approach, which we call the Poisson optional stopping times (POST) method, finds the value function as a monotone sequence of lower bounds. In a case study, we demonstrate that the frequently used quasi-analytic method yields a suboptimal policy and an inaccurate value function.

We suggest a modification of an American option such that the option holder can exercise the option early before the expiration and can revert later this decision to exercise; it can be repeated a number of times.

We found that the price of some call options with this feature is the same as for the European call.

Stock and options markets can disagree about a stock’s value because of informed trading in options and/or price pressure in the stock.

We argue that option-implied prices provide an anchor for fundamental stock values that helps to distinguish stock price movements resulting from pressure versus news.

Abstract:
Oil and gas producers are familiar with the use of derivatives to hedge oil price risk.Beyond this, derivatives provide opportunities to enhance more general corporate finance activities.An example is raising finance for acquisitions or developments. When the maximum senior debt has been obtained, the choice between equity funding or other sources (such as subordinated debt) should also consider the up-front cash available from a structured derivative program—this may lower the overall cost of capital for the acquirer, and directly improve equity returns through lower dilution.A notable aspect

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the incidence of remunerating Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)-listed non-executive directors (NEDs) with options and to determine whether companies that fail to adhere to NED remuneration recommendations share a common corporate governance profile. Despite corporate regulators condemning the practice of remunerating NEDs with stock options, there is a paucity of evidence regarding its prevalence in Australia.

Options with extendable features have many applications in finance and these provide the motivation for this study. The pricing of extendable options when the underlying asset follows a geometric Brownian motion with constant volatility has appeared in the literature.

AbstractThe value of American options depends on the exercise policy followed by option holders. Market frictions, risk aversion, or a misspecified model, for example, can result in suboptimal behavior. We study the sensitivity of American options to suboptimal exercise strategies. We show that this measure is given by the Gamma of the American option at the optimal exercise boundary. More precisely, “ifBis the optimal exercise price, but exercise is eitherbrought forward whenordelayed untila priceB̃has been reached, the cost of suboptimal exercise is given by ½ ×Γ(B) × (B−B̃)2, whereΓ(B) deno

Purpose This paper aims to directly test the assertion by proponents of executive stock option repricing that repricing leads to increased management retention. Previous studies find either no effect or decreased retention following stock price repricing. This paper uses a more precise research design to re-examine the relationship between stock option retention and management retention. Design/methodology/approach The authors use an empirical methodology and construct a sample of 158 firms and 201 repricing events, and a control sample of 201 non-repricing firms.

Abstract:
Stock options have been advocated to encourage managers to make long-run investments like R&D and capital expenditures (CAPX) that entail upfront costs with the potential to generate favorable long-term returns. However, the effect of options on managerial decisions depends on managerial beliefs about how the stock market reacts to firm behavior. If, consistent with empirical evidence, managers believe that stock prices increase in the short term from increased R&D, but not CAPX, then stock option exercisability—which dictates when managers can receive option payouts—should influence r

Abstract:
This paper conducts a thorough and detailed investigation on the implications of stochastic volatility and random jump on option prices. Both stochastic volatility and jump-diffusion processes admit asymmetric and fat-tailed distribution of asset returns and thus have similar impact on option prices compared to the Black–Scholes model. While the dynamic properties of stochastic volatility model are shown to have more impact on long-term options, the random jump is shown to have relatively larger impact on short-term near-the-money options.
