Abstract

Useful sensitivity results for the Black–Scholes model. (The corresponding results for the generalized Black–Scholes model (30.5) are given in Haug (1997), Appendix B.) b: cost-of-carry rate of holding the underlying security. b = r gives the Black–Scholes model. b = rq gives the Merton stock option model with continuous dividend yield q. b = 0 gives the Black futures option model. The put-call parity for the generalized Black–Scholes model.
