Put Option Exercise and Short Stock Interest Arbitrage

Barraclough, Kathryn - 2013

U.S. exchange-traded stock options are exercisable before expiration. While put options should frequently be exercised early to earn interest, they are not. In this paper, we explain an early exercise decision rule and then examine actual exercise behavior during the period January 1996 through...

Understanding Mortgage Spreads

Boyarchenko, Nina; Fuster, Andreas; Lucca, David O. - 2014

Spreads of agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) vary significantly in the cross section and over time, but the sources of this variation are not well understood. We document that, in the cross section, MBS spreads adjusted for the prepayment option show a pronounced smile with respect to the...

"Up" and "Down" Levy Jumps and Market Risk Premia Implications from S&P500 Options

Carverhill, Andrew P. - 2020

We model the S&P500 index options dynamics using the CGMY distribution, with independent "up" and "down" return jumps, and diffusive jump intensities. Allowing the up and down parts to be separately parameterised accounts for the dynamic smirk effect, without correlation between returns and...

The Pricing of Market Jumps in the Cross-Section of Stocks and Options

Babaoglu, Kadir - 2018

Market index and individual stock returns exhibit jumps in addition to normal shocks. Equities have exposure to the market and sensitivity to the market is important for explaining equity returns and option prices. I develop a new factor model that explores (i) if a separate beta for market...

Returns of Claims on the Upside and the Viability of U-Shaped Pricing Kernels

Bakshi, Gurdip - 2018

When the pricing kernel is U-shaped, then expected returns of claims with payout on the upside are negative for strikes beyond a threshold, determined by the slope of the U-shaped kernel in its increasing region, and have negative partial derivative with respect to strike in the increasing...

The Pricing Kernel Is U-shaped

Sichert, Tobias - 2020

Numerous studies find S-shaped pricing kernels, which is conflicting with standard theory. In contrast to that, based on a novel GARCH model with structural breaks, I show that the pricing kernel is consistently U-shaped. The results are robust to variations in the methodology and hold for...

Modeling Conditional Factor Risk Premia Implied by Index Option Returns

Fournier, Mathieu; Jacobs, Kris; Orłowski, Piotr - 2021

We propose a novel factor model for option returns. Option exposures are estimated nonparametrically and factor risk premia can vary nonlinearly with states. The model is estimated using regressions, with minimal assumptions on factor and option return dynamics. Using index options, we...

Beta risk in the cross-section of equities

Boloorforoosh, Ali; Christoffersen, Peter F.; Fournier, … - 2017

We develop a conditional capital asset pricing model in continuous-time that allows for stochastic beta exposure. When beta co-moves with market variance and the stochastic discount factor (SDF), beta risk is priced, and the expected return on a stock deviates from the security market line. The...
