Abstract

This paper proposed a new model to price a stock option based on the Skewed Laplace distribution approach (SLOP). The approach was considered to provide a better option price than Black Scholes Option Price (BSOP) because Skewed Laplace distribution (SL) has a shape parameter that can capture excess skewness and kurtosis frequently found in stock return underlying the option price. In this study, SL’s shape parameter was estimated using a mixture of the Moment Method and Fourth-Order Taylor Series approach. The estimator was different from the majority of prior SL’s shape parameter that was obtained by Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). The proposed shape parameter was easier to obtain relative to the prior parameter because it did not require a Likelihood Function (LH) and the maximization of LH where involved a complicated numerical method. The performance of SLOP was applied to eleven different enterprises that trade stock options at several strike prices. According to the empirical results in this research, it can be summarized that the SL approach yields a better option price model rather than Black Scholes (BS).
