Option Pricing Kernels and the ICAPM
نویسندگان
چکیده
We estimate the parameters of pricing kernels that depend on both aggregate wealth and state variables that describe the investment opportunity set, using FTSE 100 and S&P 500 index option returns as the returns to be priced. The coefficients of the state variables are highly significant and remarkably consistent across specifications of the pricing kernel, and across the two markets. The results provide further evidence that, consistent with Merton’s (1973) Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing Model, state variables in addition to market risk are priced.

متن کاملEstimation and Test of a Simple Model of Intertemporal Capital Asset Pricing
A simple valuation model with time varying investment opportunities is developed and estimated. The model assumes that the investment opportunity set is completely described by the real interest rate and the maximum Sharpe ratio, which follow correlated Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. The model parameters and time series of the state variables are estimated using US Treasury bond yields and expec...
متن کاملA New Stock Model for Option Pricing in Uncertain Environment
The option-pricing problem is always an important part in modern finance. Assuming that the stock diffusion is a constant, some literature has introduced many stock models and given corresponding option pricing formulas within the framework of the uncertainty theory. In this paper, we propose a new stock model with uncertain stock diffusion for uncertain markets. Some option pricing formulas on...
