Multi-Purpose Binomial Model: Fitting all Moments to the Underlying Geometric Brownian Motion

Pricing of Securities 2016-12-07 v1

Abstract

We construct a binomial tree model fitting all moments to the approximated geometric Brownian motion. Our construction generalizes the classical Cox-Ross-Rubinstein, the Jarrow-Rudd, and the Tian binomial tree models. The new binomial model is used to resolve a discontinuity problem in option pricing.
