If the stock price at time TT is distributed as N(S0,σ2)N\left(S_{0}, \sigma^{2}\right) what is the expected value of an at- the- money European call expiring at time TT ?

解析

在 Bachelier(正态)模型下,若到期

ST=S0+σZ,ZN(0,1),S_T=S_0+\sigma Z,\quad Z\sim N(0,1),

且 ATM:K=S0K=S_0,则

C=E[(STK)+]=E[(σZ)+]=σE[Z+].C=\mathbb{E}[(S_T-K)^+]=\mathbb{E}[(\sigma Z)^+]=\sigma\,\mathbb{E}[Z^+].

E[Z+]=0xφ(x)dx=12π\mathbb{E}[Z^+]=\int_0^{\infty}x\varphi(x)dx=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}},所以

C=σ2π0.4σ.\boxed{C=\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{2\pi}}\approx 0.4\,\sigma}.
