This paper presents two algorithms based on the Jamshidian equation which is from the Black-Scholes partial differential equation. The first algorithm is for American call options and the second one is for American put options. They compute numerically free boundary and then option price, iteratively, because the free boundary and the option price are coupled implicitly. By the upwind finite-difference scheme, we discretize the Jamshidian equation with respect to asset variable s and set up a linear system whose solution is an approximation to the option value. Using the property that the coefficient matrix of this linear system is an M-matrix, we prove several theorems in order to formulate a bisection method, which generates a sequence of intervals converging to the fixed interval containing the free boundary value with error bound h. These algorithms have the accuracy of O(k + h), where k and h are step sizes of variables t and s, respectively. We prove that they are unconditionally stable. We applied our algorithms for a series of numerical experiments and compared them with other algorithms. Our algorithms are efficient and applicable to options with such constraints as r > d, $r{\leq}d$, long-time or short-time maturity T.

A floating-strike lookback call option gives the holder the right to buy at the lowest price of the underlying asset. Similarly, a floating-strike lookback put option gives the holder the right to sell at the highest price. This paper will derive explicit pricing formulas for these floating-strike lookback options with flexible monitoring periods. The monitoring periods of these options start at an arbitrary date and end at another arbitrary date before maturity.

본 논문은 KOSPI 200 지수옵션 시장을 대상으로 각 월별 옵션 만기시 원월물에서 근월물로 바뀌는 옵션의 이월현상 효과를 분석하였다. KOSPI 200 지수옵션 시장은 외국의 제반 옵션 시장과는 달리 거래가 근월물에만 집중되고, 근월물에 대한 거래가 근월물의 만기일에도 매우 활발하게 이루어지는 특색을 갖고 있다. 따라서 원월물에서 근월물로 이전되는 과정에서 만기이월에 따라 옵션 가격이 영향을 받는다면, 이는 학술적으로는 옵션시장의 효율성에 대하여, 실무적으로는 옵션 거래전략에 대하여 함의를 갖는다고 말할 수 있다. 본 연구는 1999년부터 2001년까지의 KOSPI 200 지수옵션의 내재변동성을 활용하여 이루어줬으며 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 첫째, 만기일을 포함한 주의 월요일부터 다음 월요일까지, 그리고 만기일 주간의 수요일에서 금요일까지 각 기간 동안의 콜옵션 가격은 전반적으로 하락하는 현상이 발생하였다. 둘째, 기간을 세분화하여 분석하였을 때, 콜옵션은 근월물의 만기일인 목요일에는 가격상승 현상이 나타났으나 해당옵션이 근월물이 된 금요일에는 더 큰 폭의 가격하락 현상이 나타났다. 반대로 풋 옵션은 목요일에는 가격하락 현상이, 금요일에는 가격상승 현상이 나타났다. 이러한 만기 이월현상은 처음으로 밝혀졌으며 그 방향성이 근월물의 만기일에는 옵션을 활용한 복제선물에의 매수포지션, 만기 익일에는 반대로 매도포지션으로 나타난 점은 KOSPI 200 지수 선물의 전반적인 저평가 현상에 대한 차익거래의 수단으로 투자자들이 옵션 시장을 활용한다는 개연성에 대한 증거가 된다. 이러한 결과는 옵션의 가격이 완전시장 가정 하에서 옵션의 가격에 영향을 미친다고 간주되는 변수들뿐만 아니라 옵션의 근월물 여부에도 영향 받고 있음을 의미하며, 이는 효율적 시장가설이나 완전시장 가설에 배치된다고 할 수 있다. 또한 위와 같은 결과를 바탕으로 투자전략을 수립할 때, 시장거래자중 콜옵션을 매수하려고 하는 투자자는 만기일 이후에, 반대로 콜옵션을 매도하려고 하는 투자자는 만기가 포함된 주 초반에 하는 것이 더 효과적임을 의미한다.

I introduce a derivative called "Snowball Currency Option" or "USDKRWSnowball Extendible At Expiry KO" which was traded once in the over-the-counter market in Korea. A snowball currency option consists of a series of maturities the payoffs at which are like those of a long position in a put option and two short position in an otherwise identical call. The strike price at each maturity depends on the exchange rate and the previous strike price so that the strike prices are random and path-dependent, which makes it difficult to find a closed form solution of the value of a snowball currency option. I analyze the payoff structure of a snowball currency option and derive an upper and a lower boundaries of the value of it in a simplified model. Furthermore, I derive a pricing formula using integral in the simplified model.

This study explores the impact of stochastic volatility in option pricing. To be more specific, we compare the option pricing performance between stochastic volatility option pricing model, namely, Heston option pricing model and standard Black-Scholes option pricing. Our finding, based on the market price of SET50 index option between May 2011 and September 2020, demonstrates stochastic volatility of underlying asset return for all level of moneyness. We find that both deep in the money and deep out of the money option exhibit higher volatility comparing with out of the money, at the money, and in the money option. Hence, our finding confirms the existence of volatility smile in Thai option markets. Further, based on calibration technique, the Heston option pricing model generates smaller pricing error for all level of moneyness and time to expiration than standard Black-Scholes option pricing model, though both Heston and Black-Scholes generate large pricing error for deep-in-the-money option and option that is far from expiration. Moreover, Heston option pricing model demonstrates a better pricing accuracy for call option than put option for all level and time to expiration. In sum, our finding supports the outperformance of the Heston option pricing model over standard Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine the option selection and optimal trading of informed traders in KOSPI 200 options market based on the PIN (probability of informed trading) model of Easley et al.(2002). Design/methodology/approach - This study uses TAQ (trade and quote) data provided by Korean Exchanges (KRX) which contains all the bids and trades recorded during the continuous auction trading hours for the KOSPI 200 options between May 2019 and September 2020. Findings - First, there was no difference in the PIN between call and put options in the 2019 data, but the PIN of put options was slightly higher in 2020. Second, regardless of the type of option, the PIN was higher for in-the-money (ITM) options, and the PIN of out-of-the-money (OTM) options was the same as or slightly higher than that of at-the-money (ATM) options. Third, we found that the PIN decreases as trading liquidity increases, and fourth, the PIN increased sharply as the expiration date approached, especially for OTM options, while ITM and ATM options showed relatively weak effects. Fifth, for foreign and institutional investors, the periodicity of orders was observed in milliseconds, especially for foreign investors, where the periodicity of orders was clear and frequent in OTM options. The results suggest that the purpose of option trading varies depending on the moneyness from the perspective of the informed trader.

IS outsourcing has an important meaning to the Korean SME's (Small and Medium Enterprises) which want to use the IS Services. The objective of this research is to manage IT risks occurred during IS outsourcing project process. This study tries to identify these risks using real option methodology. In order to perform this objective, this study set up the research model which is composed of two main concepts. The first one is the risk factors occurred during IS outsourcing project process: User's Risks, Supplier's Risks and Transaction's Risks. All of these risks are based on Transaction Cost Theory. The second one is the intention to get (or buy) Real Options to manage the risks. In the research model, two types of real option are included: option to abandon (put option) and option to defer (call option). This study uses questionnaires and statistics methodology (PLS) to analyze the hypotheses proposed in the research model. Compared with prior studies, this study is different in two ways. First, this study restricts the range of IT risks. Prior researches of IT Risk management in MIS area cover various range of IT risks, but this study focuses on the Korean SME's IT outsourcing risks on the basis of Transaction Cost Theory. This study tests the relationship between the risks and real option types. Second, this study tries to test the moderating effect of user's risks and supplier's risks on the relationship between transaction's risks and real option types. In IT outsourcing research area, almost studies focus on the direct relationships between IT risks and outsourcing success. But in reality, the co-relationship among IT risks may occur. There are some findings according to the research analysis. First, risks related with user's risks have strong causal relationships with the intention to get option to abandon (put) and option to defer. But risks related with supplier's risks have causal relationships only with option to abandon (put). Second, user's risks and supplier's risks have no moderating effect on the relationship between transaction's risks and real option types. According to the research results, this research have some important and interesting implications on the IS outsourcing business area. First, this study identifies the effective types of real option to minimize the risks occurred during the IT outsourcing projects. So IS outsourcing service users can manage (or minimize) effectively the risks, which occurred during outsourcing projects, using real options. Second, real option gives benefits to suppliers and users at the same time (i.e., win-win strategies between IS outsourcing service providers and users). Vendors (:IS outsourcing service providers) can offer users the real options which can minimize the occurrence of risks in time. "IN TIME" means that before the IS outsourcing project starts, vendors can offer users the opportunity to buy real options in appropriate prices to manage the possibility of the risks of IS outsourcing project. And users also have chance to minimize the IT outsourcing risks occurred during the project process using real options.

풋-콜 패리티에 괴리가 생길 경우 각종 차익거래 및 스프레드 전략이 가능하게 되고 이로 인해 현물, 선물 및 옵션시장 가격의 움직임이 발생하게 되므로 이 관계식의 성립여부는 실제로 시장가격에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 10분 간격으로 측정된 현물, 선물, 콜 옵션, 그리고 풋 옵션 가격 및 가격의 변화가 풋-콜 패리티 조건으로부터의 괴리율과 어떤 관계를 가지고 있는지 GARCH(1,1)모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 우선 풋-콜 패리티 조건에 괴리가 발생했을 때 다시 균형상태로 회귀하려는 경향을 발견할 수 있었다. 즉, 괴리율이 (+)의 값을 가질 때 현물가격과 풋 옵션의 가격은 하락하고, 콜 옵션의 가격은 상승함으로써 향후 괴리율의 크기가 줄어드는 모습을 보여주었다. 시장에 따라 다소 차이가 있지만 전반적으로 괴리율의 변화는 각 시장에서 가격의 향후 변동에 약 60분가량 영향을 주고 있었으며, 시차항 변수에 대한 회귀계수의 크기를 비교해볼 때 시간이 지날수록 괴리율이 각 시장가격에 미치는 영향도 점차 줄어들고 있었다. 그러나 KOSPI 200 주가지수 선물가격의 움직임에서는 풋-콜 패리티 괴리율과의 뚜렷한 연관성을 보이지 않았다. 교차상관분석에 따르면 주가지수선물의 가격이 새로운 정보에 가장 신속하게 반응함으로써 기타 시장에서의 가격을 일정기간 선도하고 있는 것으로 여겨진다.

A lot of researches find negative volatility risk premium in options market. We can make a trading profit by exploiting the negative volatility premium. This study proposes negative volatility risk premium hypotheses in the KOSPI 200 stock price index options market and empirically test the proposed hypotheses with intra-day short straddle strategy. This strategy sells both at-the-money call option and at-the-money put option at market open and exits the position at market close. Using MySQL 5.1, we create our database with 1 minute option price data of the KOSPI 200 index options from 2004 to 2009. Empirical results show that negative volatility risk premium exists in the KOSPI 200 stock price index options market. Furthermore, intra-day short straddle strategy consistently produces annual profits except one year.

A floating-strike lookback call option gives the holder the right to buy at the lowest price of the underlying asset. Similarly, a floating-strike lookback put option gives the holder the right to sell at the highest price. This paper will present explicit pricing formulas for these floating-strike lookback options with flexible monitoring periods. The monitoring periods of these options start at an arbitrary date and end at another arbitrary date before maturity. Sections 3 and 4 assume that the underlying assets pay no dividends. In contrast, Section 5 will derive explicit pricing formulas for these options when their underlying asset pays dividends continuously at a rate proportional to its price.
