This paper introduces an option pricing algorithm based on non-orthogonal series expansion methods. More precisely, Gabor frame decomposition is used to split the risk neutral option pricing formula into the sum of two inner products that can be evaluated efficiently by means of Parseval's...

An option market maker incurs funding costs when carrying and hedging inventory. To hedge a net long delta inventory, for example, she pays a fee to borrow stock from the security lending market. Because of haircuts, she posts additional cash margin to the lender which needs to be financed at...

The market for ultra short-term (zero days-to-expiry or 0DTE) options has grown exponentially over the last few years. In 2023, daily volume in 0DTEs reached over 45% of overall daily options volume. After briefly describing this exploding new market, we present a novel pricing formula designed...

We show that a dynamic model of investment and capital structure choices, where the firm faces real and financial frictions, can generate option prices and implied volatilities that are in line with those of the average optionable stock. As the balance between the fundamental economic forces...

In this paper, I have used simple arbitrage argument to derive a dozen of model-free option price properties. In addition to deriving the Greeks under the model-free framework, the results show that first, in contrast to the traditional view, a European call (put) option for a...

We show that a structural model of firm decisions can produce very flexible implied volatility surfaces: upward and downward sloping, u-shaped. A calibrated version of the model is able to match many unconditional financial characteristics of the average option-able stock, and can help explain...

We study a new class of three-factor affine option pricing models with interdependent volatility dynamics and a stochastic skewness component unrelated to volatility shocks. These properties are useful in order (i) to model a term structure of implied volatility skews more consistent with the...
