Samuelson 1965 Option Pricing Formula is an options pricing formula that pre-dates Black-Scholes-Merton. This version includes Analytical Greeks. Samuelson (1965; see also Smith, 1976) assumed the asset price follows a geometric Brownian motion with positive drift, p. In this way he allowed for positive interest rates and a risk premium. c = SN(d1) * e^((rho...
Boness 1964 Option Pricing Formula is an options pricing model that pre-dates Black-Scholes-Merton. This model includes Analytical Greeks. Boness (1964) assumed a lognormal asset price. Boness derives the following value for a call option: c = SN(d1) - Xe^(rho * T)N(d2) d1 = (log(S / X) + (rho + v^2 / 2) * T) / (v * T^0.5) d2 = d1 - (v * T^0.5) where rho...
Generalized Black-Scholes-Merton w/ Analytical Greeks is an adaptation of the Black-Scholes-Merton Option Pricing Model including Analytical Greeks and implied volatility calculations. The following information is an excerpt from Espen Gaarder Haug's book "Option Pricing Formulas". The options sensitivities (Greeks) are the partial derivatives of the...
The Black Scholes Merton model If you are new to options I strongly advise you to profit from Robert Shiller's lecture on same . It combines practical market insights with a strong authoritative grasp of key models in option theory. He explains many of the areas covered below and in the following pages with a lot intuition and relatable anecdotage. We start here...
