问一道题:NO.PZ2016070201000085

问题如下:

Which of the following regarding equity option volatility is true?

选项:

A.

There is higher implied price volatility for away-from-the-money equity options.

B.

"Crashophobia" suggests actual equity volatility increases when stock prices decline.

C.

Compared to the lognormal distribution, traders believe the probability of large down movements in price is similar to large up movements.

D.

Increasing leverage at lower equity prices suggests increasing volatility.

解释:

D is correct. There is higher implied price volatility for low strike price equity options. "Crashophobia" is based on the idea that large price declines are more likely than assumed in Black-Scholes- Merton prices, not that volatility increases when prices decline. Compared to the lognormal distribution, traders believe the probability of large down movements in price is higher than large up movements. Increasing leverage at lower equity prices suggests increasing volatility.

对于B选项的解释我没有看懂

同学你好,

关于 Crashophobia 这个我去查阅了原版书 书上是给出了说股票价格上升的时候,波动率下降,没有说反向也是成立的。

题目中的解析式在说Crashophobia 强调的是价格下跌而非波动率上升。已经跟其他老师在讨论了,有情况更新~

建议对Crashophobia理解到是怎么回事就行了~

Since the U.S. stock market crash of 1987, the U.S. equity index options have exhibited a strong regularity along the strike price dimension. Out-of-the-money put options are much more expensive than the corresponding out-of-the-money call options.
