This paper estimates some of the parameters of the Schwartz and Moon (2001)) model using cross-sectional data. Stochastic costs, future financing, capital expenditures and depreciation are taken into account. Some special conditions are also set: the speed of adjustment parameters are equal; the...

Purpose: This paper aims to test three parametric models in pricing and hedging higher-order moment swaps. Using vanilla option prices from the volatility surface of the Euro Stoxx 50 Index, the paper shows that the pricing accuracy of these models is very satisfactory under four different...

This paper values interest rate options using an improved parametric pricing kernel in the Merton (1973) intertemporal capital asset pricing model framework. The pricing kernel is driven by the real interest rate, the Jensen's alpha, and the market volatility. Parameters in the pricing kernel...

This paper examines empirically the value of early exercise by testing the ability of two American put valuation models to predict the early exercise premium for the S&P100 American put options. An accuracy test and a quality test are performed on (1) the MacMillan (1986) & Barone-Adesi and...
