This paper extends the static hedging portfolio (SHP) approach of Derman et al. (1995) and Carr et al. (1998) to price and hedge American knock-in put options under the Black–Scholes model and the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. We use standard European calls (puts) to construct...

This paper utilizes the static hedge portfolio (SHP) approach of Derman et al. [Derman, E., Ergener, D., Kani, I., 1995. Static options replication. Journal of Derivatives 2, 78-95] and Carr et al. [Carr, P., Ellis, K., Gupta, V., 1998. Static hedging of exotic options. Journal of Finance 53,...

This paper generalizes the seminal Cox-Ross-Rubinstein (CRR) binomial model by adding a stretch parameter. The generalized CRR (GCRR) model allows us to fine-tune (via the stretch parameter) the lattice structure so as to efficiently price a range of options, such as barrier options. Our...

This paper utilizes the static portfolio approach of Derman, Ergener, and Kani (1995) and Carr, Ellis, and Gupta (1998) to hedge and price American options under the Black-Scholes (1973) model and the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model of Cox (1975). The static hedge portfolio (SHP) of...

We examine the impact of derivatives hedging on the spot market using accurate hedge ratios of covered warrants traded in the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE). Results present significant positive abnormal returns and trading volumes before the announcement of a warrant’s issuance, and the effect...

Two models are examined in this study, namely, one incorporating exogenous investment and one incorporating endogenous investment and R&D uncertainty. A lump-sum subsidy results in larger net tax revenues than does lowering the profit tax rate in the former model, while this may not be the case...

This paper studies the optimal insurance contract under disappointment theory. We show that, when the individuals anticipate disappointment, there are two types of optimal insurance contract. The first type contains a deductible and a coinsurance above the deductible. We find that zero marginal...
