Non-traded call's volatility smiles

Pricing of Securities 2019-03-20 v1

Abstract

Real life hedging in the Black-Scholes model must be imperfect and if the stock's drift is higher than the risk free rate, leads to a profit on average. Hence the option price is examined as a fair game agreement between the parties, based on expected payoffs and a simple measure of risk. The resulting prices result in the volatility smile.
