Abstract

In this paper, we propose a pricing model for stock option valuation. The model is derived from the classical Black-Scholes option pricing equation via the application of the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model with dividend yield. This modifies the Black- Scholes equation by incorporating a non-constant volatility power function of the underlying stock price, and a dividend yield parameter.
