Book Description
This study estimates option prices via a recombining binomial tree incorporating the effect of warrant dilution on the capital structure of the firm (Warrant Dilution Option-Pricing model--WDOP). The binomial lattice is constructed on the value of the firm under the assumption of constant volatility of the rate of return of the firm value. The mean percentage prediction error and the mean absolute value of the mean prediction error indicate that the predicted option prices deviate significantly from the observed option prices. The weak predicting performance of the WDOP model doesn't seem to follow a systematic pattern. This is true even when the sample is divided into subcategories based on option moneyness, and option and warrant life. We tested the WDOP model with one parameter, the volatility of the rate of return of the firm value, estimated out-of-sample. We compare the WDOP model with the Black Schole option-pricing model (hereafter B/S) applied to the options without taking into account the equity dilution effect. Finally, we calculate the warrant prices throughout the sample.

Book Description
At a first approximation, equity warrants are option-like securities: in fact, they are transferable certificates which entitle the holder to buy a specific number of shares of the issuing company, at a given price, at an agreed time in the future. Accordingly, the pricing of warrants is usually performed by application of the standard option pricing theory. However, the presence of some specific features (e.g., the equity dilution) prevents from using simple plain-vanilla formulas and adds a certain degree of complication to the analysis. The purpose of this study is to present the different (and sometimes controversial) warrant pricing approaches provided by the financial literature and describe the assumptions they are based upon. By means of these formulas we price a current Italian warrant listed at Borsa Italiana and we show the mispricing we obtain with respect to the actual market price. This article is intended to address the common pricing errors made by academics and practitioners, shedding some light on the warrants' valuation process.

Book Description
An unprecedented book on option pricing! For the first time, the basics on modern option pricing are explained ``from scratch'' using only minimal mathematics. Market practitioners and students alike will learn how and why the Black-Scholes equation works, and what other new methods have been developed that build on the success of Black-Shcoles. The Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial trees are discussed, as well as two recent theories of option pricing: the Derman-Kani theory on implied volatility trees and Mark Rubinstein's implied binomial trees. Black-Scholes and Beyond will not only help the reader gain a solid understanding of the Balck-Scholes formula, but will also bring the reader up to date by detailing current theoretical developments from Wall Street. Furthermore, the author expands upon existing research and adds his own new approaches to modern option pricing theory. Among the topics covered in Black-Scholes and Beyond: detailed discussions of pricing and hedging options; volatility smiles and how to price options ``in the presence of the smile''; complete explanation on pricing barrier options.

Book Description
Warrant is normally priced on the basis of Black and Scholes' model, which refers to calculations in a risk neutral world. Hence, it neither captures the market expectation nor being a good reference for the risk management process. This study examines a new way of pricing warrants under the real world probability by utilizing the recovered Vacisek short rate model. Applying Carr and Yu's recovery model, an extended version of Ross Recovery Theorem, we managed to recover the Vasisek process. Then, suppose that the economy is driven by this recovered Vacisek process, we point out a valuation model for the warrant of an underlying stock. We deduce that by applying the recovered Vacisek model we can derive the warrant price under the real world probability without the assumption of the market price of risk as in the risk neutral model.

Book Description
We provide new evidence on the sequential financing explanation for the use of warrants. Consistent with sequential financing, capital spending starts increasing in the year of the call and peaks three years after the call. In addition, both equity and debt financing increase significantly in the year of the call and remain at high levels. Warrant contract features - the exercise price and the presence or absence of a price condition for callable warrants - are also consistent with the sequential financing hypothesis.
