The valuation of options when asset returns are generated by a binomial process
Article Abstract:
Options on assets are valued, whose returns over a particular period of time are generated by a binomial process. A simple valuation relationship between the option and the underlying stock determines whether investors have preference functions from a particular class - even if opportunities to hedge do not exist. The theory is applicable to a case in which the stock price over a specific time period could increase by an amount, fall by the same amount, or stay the same. These results can be seen as the foundation for the preference-based approaches to obtaining a risk neutral valuation relationship.

The Valuation of Multivariate Contingent Claims in Discrete Time Models
Article Abstract:
The pricing of contingent claims is obtained in risk-neutral valuation in discrete time. Both multivariate normality with constant absolute risk and multivariate cognormality with constant proportional risk aversion yield a risk-neutral valuation relationship. Satisfactory multiperiod bonds, multicurrency option bonds, and investment options.

The Market Model and Capital Asset Pricing Theory: A Note
Article Abstract:
Proof is derived that a linear market model is satisfactory in deriving a linear relationship between risk and return. Results are similar to the CAPM. Little difference is found between the assumptions of multivariate normality and the market model linearity.
