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.

Black와 Scholes (1973)와 Merton (1973)의 옵션 가격결정이론에 대한 논문이 발표 된 이후 다양한 실증 분석 결과에 의하여 시간의 흐름에 따라 변동성이 불변한다고 가정하는 Black-Scholes 모형이 시장의 옵션 가격을 적절히 설명하지 못하고 있다는 것이 밝혀지면서 많은 대안적인 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 예를 들어, Duan (1995)은 위험중립측도 하에서의 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 통해 GARCH 모형을 따르는 기초 자산의 옵션가격을 도출하는 방법을 제시하였다. 그러나 실제 주식이나 환율 등의 금융자료에 수익률분포는 정규분포에 비해 꼬리가 두껍고, 급첨의 형태를 보이는 데 Duan (1995)의 옵션가격 결정 방법은 이를 적절히 반영하지 못하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 정규혼합모형의 오차를 갖는 GARCH 모형을 이용한 옵션가격 결정 방법을 제안하고자 한다. KOSPI200 옵션가격 자료를 이용하여 본 논문에서 제시된 옵션가격과 정규분포를 가정한 GARCH 모형에 의해 결정된 옵션가격과 비교한 결과, 금융 자료의 급첨의 성질이 뚜렷한 불안정한 시기인 경우에 오차가 정규혼합모형이라고 가정한 GARCH 모형에 의한 옵션가격 결정의 성과가 월등히 좋아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Options pricing remains a critical aspect of finance, dominated by traditional models such as Black-Scholes and binomial tree. However, as market dynamics become more complex, numerical methods such as Monte Carlo simulation are accommodating uncertainty and offering promising alternatives. In this paper, we examine how effective different options pricing methods, from traditional models to machine learning algorithms, are at predicting KOSPI200 option prices and maximizing investment returns. Using a dataset of 2023, we compare the performance of models over different time frames and highlight the strengths and limitations of each model. In particular, we find that machine learning models are not as good at predicting prices as traditional models but are adept at identifying undervalued options and producing significant returns. Our findings challenge existing assumptions about the relationship between forecast accuracy and investment profitability and highlight the potential of advanced methods in exploring dynamic financial environments.

We examine a unified approach of calculating the closed form solutions of option price under stochastic volatility models using stochastic calculus and the Fourier inversion formula. In particular, we review and derive the option pricing formulas under Heston and correlated Stein-Stein models using a systematic and comprehensive approach which were derived individually earlier. We compare the empirical performances of the two stochastic volatility models and the Black-Scholes model in pricing KOSPI 200 index options.

PURPOSES : This study evaluates the economic value of national highway construction projects using Real Option Pricing Models. METHODS : We identified the option premium for uncertainties associated with flexibilities according to the future's change in national highway construction projects. In order to evaluate value of future's underlying asset, we calculated the volatility of the unit price per year for benefit estimation such as VOTS, VOCS, VICS, VOPCS and VONCS that the "Transportation Facility Investment Evaluation Guidelines" presented. RESULTS : We evaluated the option premium of underlying asset through a case study of the actual national highway construction projects using ROPM. And in order to predict the changes in the option value of the future's underlying asset, we evaluated the changes of option premium for future's uncertainties by the defer of the start of construction work, the contract of project scale, and the abandon of project during pre-land compensation stages that were occurred frequently in the highway construction projects. Finally we analyzed the sensitivity of the underlying asset using volatility, risk free rate and expiration date of option. CONCLUSIONS : We concluded that a highway construction project has economic value even though static NPV had a negative(-) value because of the sum of the existing static NPV and the option premium for the future's uncertainties associated with flexibilities.

Black-Scholes equation arising from option pricing in the presence of cost in trading the underlying asset is derived. The transaction cost is chosen precisely and generalized to reflect the trade in the real world. Furthermore the concept of the bandwidth is introduced to obtain the better rehedging. The model with bandwidth derived in this paper can be used to calculate the more accurate option price numerically even if it is nonlinear and more complicated than the models shown before.

Simulations on the nonlinear partial differential equation derived from Black-Scholes equation with transaction costs are performed. These numerical experiments using finite element methods are applied to KOSPI200 in 2002 and the option prices obtained with transaction costs are closer to the real prices in market than the prices used in Korea Stock Exchange.

In traditional financial theory, the discount cash flow model(DCF or NPV) operates as the basic framework for most analyses. In doing valuation analysis, the conventional view is that the net present value(NPV) of a project is the measure of the present value of expected net cash flows. Thus, investing in a positive(negative) NPV project will increase(decrease) firm value. Recently, this framework has come under some fire for failing to consider the options of the managerial flexibilities. Real option valuation(ROV) considers the managerial flexibility to make ongoing decisions regarding the implementation of investment projects and the deployment of real assets. The appeal of the framework is natural given the high degree of uncertainty that firms face in their technology investment decisions. This paper suggests an algorithm for estimating volatility of logarithmic cash flow returns of real assets based on the Black-Sholes option pricing model, the binomial option pricing model, and the Monte Carlo simulation. This paper uses those models to obtain point estimates of real option value with the G7- HSR350X(high-speed train).

블랙-숄즈 모형이 실제 기초자산의 움직임을 반영하지 못한다는 사실이 실증연구에 의하여 밝혀진 이후 기초자산의 움직임을 레비확률과정을 이용하여 모형화한 옵션가격결정 모형들이 그 대안 중 하나로 연구되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 블랙-숄즈 모형의 대안으로 제시된 레비모형 중 Variance Gamma 모형이 국내 주식시장에서의 기초자산의 움직임을 블랙-숄즈 모형보다 충실히 재현해내는지 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위하여 Madan 등 (1998)의 연구에서와 같이 로그수익률의 확률밀도함수와 옵션 가격 결정식을 바탕으로 KOSPI 200자료를 이용하여 모수를 추정하고 우도비 검정을 실시하였다. 또한, 옵션 가격을 추정한 후 모형 간의 비교를 위하여 다양한 통계량을 계산하고, 회귀분석을 통하여 변동성 스마일 현상이 교정되는지를 살펴보았다. 연구결과로부터 Variance Gamma 모형 하에서 추정된 옵션 가격이 블랙-숄즈 모형 하에서 추정된 그것보다 더 시장가격과 가까우나, 이 모형도 변동성 스마일 현상을 해결해주지는 못함을 확인할 수 있었다.
