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 derives the pricing bounds of a currency cross-rate option using the option prices of two related dollar rates via a copula theory and presents the analytical properties of the bounds under the Gaussian framework. Our option pricing bounds are useful, because (1) they are general in...

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...
