Several authors have proposed series expansion methods to price options when the risk-neutral density is asymmetric and … sensitivities of option prices to shifts in skewness and kurtosis using parameter values from Corrado- Su (1996) and Brown …-Robinson (2002), and market data from the French options market. We show that di¤erences between the original, corrected, and our …
