摘要
We study the arbitrage free option pricing problem for the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. To treat the stochastic aspect of the CEV model, we direct attention to the relationship between the CEV model and squared Bessel processes. Then we show the existence of a unique equivalent martingale measure and derive the Cox's arbitrage free option pricing formula through the properties of squared Bessel processes. Finally we show that the CEV model admits arbitrage opportunities when it is conditioned to be strictly positive. © 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
