Description:
Nobody doubts the power of the Black and Scholes option pricing method, yet there are situations in which the hypothesis of a lognormal model is too restrictive. A natural way to deal with this problem consists of weakening the hypothesis, by fixing only successive moments and possibly the mode of the price process of a risky asset, and not the complete distribution. As a consequence of this generalization, the option price is no longer a unique value, but rather a range of possible values. In the present paper, we show how to find upper and lower bounds for this range, a range which turns out to be quite narrow in a lot of cases.
