Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: Options as derivative securities are regularly used by investors and financial institutions. The crucial issue within this context is to determine the fair price of an option. The Black and Scholes (1973) model is regularly used for this purpose. El-Khatib and Hatemi-J (2017) provide a model that can be useful for option pricing during a financial crisis. This Gauss module calculates the premium for the European call and put options using these two mentioned alternative models. In addition, it calculates the price sensitivities (i.e. the Greeks) based on both models. For technical descriptions see (1) Black F. and Scholes M. (1973), The Pricing of Options and Corporate Liabilities, Journal of Political Economy, 81(3), 637-654. (2) El-Khatib, Y. and Hatemi-J, A.
