Looking Forward to Pricing Options from Binomial Trees
نویسندگان
چکیده
We reconsider the valuation of barrier options by means of binomial trees from a “forward looking” prospective rather than the more conventional “backward induction” one used by standard approaches. This reformulation allows us to write closed-form expressions for the value of European and American put barrier-options on a non-dividend-paying stock.

A New Methodology to Evaluate the Real Options of an Investment Using Binomial Trees and Monte Carlo Simulation
This paper deals with a new methodology to evaluate the real operating options embedded in a manufacturing system investment. In a single product framework, the demand is assumed as the main source of uncertainty, therefore as a stochastic variable following a Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM). Then, focusing on the real option to expand the capacity at a certain time in the future, we have devel...
متن کاملValuing Real Options using Implied Binomial Trees
A real option on a commodity is valued using an implied binomial tree (IBT) calibrated using commodity futures options prices. Estimating an IBT in the absence of spot options (the norm for commodities) allows real option models to be calibrated for the first time to market-implied probability distributions for commodity prices. Also, the existence of long-dated futures options means that good ...

متن کاملImproving Convergence of Binomial Schemes and the Edgeworth Expansion
Binomial trees are very popular in both theory and applications of option pricing. As they often suffer from an irregular convergence behavior, improving this is an important task. We build upon a new version of the Edgeworth expansion for lattice models to construct new and quickly converging binomial schemes with a particular application to barrier options.
متن کاملThe Pricing of Options on Credit-Sensitive Bonds
The Pricing of Options on Credit-Sensitive Bonds We build a three-factor term-structure of interest rates model and use it to price corporate bonds. The first two factors allow the risk-free term structure to shift and tilt. The third factor generates a stochastic credit-risk premium. To implement the model, we apply the Peterson and Stapleton (2002) diffusion approximation methodology. The met...
