About the Lecture:

Existing option pricing theory generally does not consider the impact of investor behavior deviations on option prices and the price limit system, which is the special institutional arrangement of securities market in China. Based on the actual situation of securities market in China, this paper first empirically tests the existence of psychological barriers, and then considers the impact of psychological barriers and the price limit system. This paper also revises the relevant hypotheses and deduces new option pricing formula based on the traditional Black-Scholes European option pricing model. By using the SSE 50ETF option market data in China, the author systematically evaluates the new model in terms of Option Pricing, Option Price Forecasting and Risk Hedging. The empirical results show that the pricing accuracy of the revised model is generally higher than that of the traditional model, especially in the areas of Price Prediction and Risk Hedging of Put.
