3. The Binomial Option Pricing Model

Introduction

This chapter examines the first of two general types of option pricing models. A model is a simplified representation of reality that uses certain inputs to produce an output, or result. An option pricing model is a mathematical formula or computational procedure that uses factors determining the option's price as inputs. The output is a theoretical fair value of the option. If the model performs as it should, the option's market price will equal the theoretical fair value. Obtaining the theoretical fair value is a process call option pricing. We begin with a simple model called the binomial option pricing model, which is more of a computational procedure than a formula.

  1. I have to say I like this post a lot. It directs readers to every detail of the story that makes the post more interesting and educational. I then pass it on to my colleagues and revisit your blog in the next post.
