Black Scholes Model

(redirected from Black-Scholes Model)

Black Scholes Model

A model for mathematically pricing options. The model takes into account the strike price, the time until the expiration date, the price of the underlying asset, and the standard deviation of the underlying asset's return. The model assumes that the option can only be exercised on the expiration date, that it will provide a risk-free return, and that the volatility of the underlying asset will remain constant throughout the life of the contract. The calculation is slightly different for calls and puts. See also: Option Adjusted Spread, Option Pricing Curve.

In this paper, we considered a simple and robust numerical algorithm for the construction of a time-dependent volatility function from a finite set of market observations by the Black-Scholes model. In order to numerically solve the BS equation, we applied a fully implicit finite difference method.

The discontinuous models describing jump risk from exogenous shock worth studying and De Spiegeleer and Schoutens (2012) [11] also suggest their Black-Scholes model to be extended to the model driven by Levy process to incorporate jumps and heavy tails to improve accuracy for CoCos pricing.

Pindyck (1984) then applied option pricing to a renewable resource in property rights appraisals and, later in the same year, Shaffer (1984) reported on valuation of long-term timber cutting contracts using the Black-Scholes model. Brennan and Schwartz (1985) subsequently applied a real options approach to value non-renewable natural resources.
