Abstract:
|
Black-Scholes pricing errors are larger
in the deeper out-of-the-money options relative to the near out-of-the-money options,
and mispricing worsens with increased volatility. Our results indicate that the Black-Scholes
model is not the proper pricing tool in high volatility situations especially for very deep out-of-the-money options.
Feedforward network provides more accurate pricing estimates for the deeper out-of-the money options and handles pricing during high volatility with considerably lower errors for out-of-the-money call and put options. This could be invaluable information for practitioners as option pricing is a major challenge during high volatility periods.
