1、指導教授：戴天時 學 生：王薇婷,7.3 Knock-out Barrier Option,There are several types of barrier options. Some “Knock out” when the underlying asset price crosses a barrier (Up-and-out, Down-and-out). Other options “Knock in” at a barrier (Up-and-in, Down-and-in). The payoff at expiration for barrier options is typ
2、ically either that of a put or a call. More complex barrier options require the asset price to not only cross a barrier but spend a certain amount of time across the barrier in order to knock in or knock out. 7.3.1 Up-and-Out Call 7.3.2 Black-Scholes-Merton Equation 7.3.3 Computation of the price of
3、 the Up-and-Out Call,7.3.1 Up-and-Out Call,Our underlying risky asset is geometric Brownian motion Where is a Brownian motion under the risk-neutral measure . Consider a European call, expiring at time T, with strike price K and up-and-out barrier B. We assume KB; otherwise, the option must knock ou
4、t in order to be in the money and hence could only pay off zero.,The solution to the stochastic differential equation for the asset price is Where , and We define , so,The option knocks out if and only if ; if , the option pays off In other words, the payoff of the option is (7.3.2) where ,7.3.2 Bla
5、ck-Scholes-Merton Equation,Theorem 7.3.1 Let v( t, x) denote the price at time t of the up-and-out call has not knocked out prior to time t and S(t)= x. then v(t, x) satisfies the Black-Scholes-Merton partial differential equation (7.3.4) in the rectangle and satisfies the boundary conditions (7.3.5
6、) (7.3.6) (7.3.7),(Theorem 7.3.1),In particular, the function v( t, x) is not continuous at the corner of its domain where t=T and x=B. it is continuous everywhere else in the rectangle Exercise 7.8 outlines the steps to verify the Black-Scholes-Merton equation direct computation Derive the PDE (7.3
7、.4) 1. find the martingale 2. take the differential 3. set the dt term equal to zero,(Theorem 7.3.1),Let an initial asset price S(0) (0,B) the option payoff V(T) by (7.3.2), and (7.3.8) The usual iterated conditioning argument shows that (7.3.9) is a martingale. We would like to use the Markov prope
8、rty as V(t)=v( t, S(t), where the function in Theorem 7.3.1. However, this equation does not hold for all value of t along all path. Recall that v(t,S(t) is the value of the option under the assumption that it has not Knock-out prior to t, whereas V(t) is the value if the option without any assumpti
9、on.,Theorem 4.3.2 of Volume I A martingale stopped at a stopping time is still a martingale.,Lemma 7.3.2 We have (7.3.11) In particular, up to time , or, put another way, the stopped process (7.3.12),SKETCH OF PROOF:,Because v( t, S(t) is the value of the up-and-out call under the assumption that it
10、 has not knocked out before time t, and for this assumption is correct, we have (7.3.11) for . From (7.3.11), we conclude that the process in (7.3.12) is the P-martingale (7.3.10).,PROOF OF THEOREM 7.3.1:,We compute the differential (7.3.13) The dt term must be zero for . But since ( t, S(t) can rea
11、ch any point in before the option knocks out, the equation (7.3.4) must hole for every and .,Remark 7.3.3,From Theorem 7.3.1 and its proof, we see how to construct a hedge, at least theoretically. Setting the dt term in (7.3.13) equal to zero, we obtain Compare with the discounted value of a portfol
12、io (5.2.27) to get the delta-hedging:,Delta Hedging,Theoretically, if an agent begins with a short position in the up-and-out call and with initial capital X(0)=v( 0,S(0), then the usual delta-hedging will cause her portfolio value X(t) to track the option value v( t, S(t) up to the time of knock-ou
13、t or up to expiration T, whichever come first. In practice, the delta hedge is impossible to implement if the option has not knocked out and the underlying asset price approaches the barrier near expiration of the option., v(T, x) is discontinuous at x=B ( from B-K to 0 ) The Black-Scholes-Merton mo
14、del assumes the bid-ask spread is zero, and here that assumption is a poor model of reality.,Problem:,Solution:,The common industry practice is to price and hedge the up-and-out call as if the barrier were at a level slightly higher than B. In this way, the large delta and gamma values of the option
15、 occur in the region above the contractual barrier B, and the hedging position will be closed out upon knock-out at the contractual barrier before the asset price reaches this region.,7.3.3 Computation of the price of the Up-and-Out Call,Fig. 7.3.1 Regions of integration for k0 and k0,w,m,w=m,k,b,m,w=m,w,b,k,
