On the Importance of the Traders’ Rules for Pricing Options: Evidence From Intraday Data

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Using intraday data from the KOSPI 200 Index options, we examine the pricing performanceof alternative option pricing models. For comparison, we consider the Black and Scholes(Journal of Political Economy, 81, 1973, 637) model, a simple traders’ rule known as the adhoc Black-Scholes model, the deterministic volatility model, the stochastic volatility model,and the stochastic volatility with jumps model. Contrary to the findings of Jackwerth and Rubinstein(Recovering stochastic processes from option prices), Li and Pearson (A “horse race”among competing option pricing models using S&P 500 Index options), and Kim (Journal ofFutures Markets, 29, 2009, 999) using daily data, we find that the most complicated model,namely the stochastic volatility with jumps model, shows the best performance for pricingthe KOSPI 200 Index options. Overall, our evidence from intraday data indicates that thetraders’ rules do not dominate mathematically more sophisticated models.
