台灣期交所於2001 年12 月推出台指選擇權，更於2012年11月推出一週到期選擇權，至今交易量屢創新高，本研究希望以實證資料探討台指選擇權到期日當天是否存在到期日效應 ，及台指選擇權到期日的結算價可否預測兩項議題. 本研究利用到期前一日台指選擇權收盤資料來預估選擇權賣方最佳結算價，並利用此一價格來推估到期日當天的結算價。

台灣期貨交易所於92年1月20日推出到期採實物交割的股票選擇權契約，希望能提供市場更豐富、更多元的避險以及套利機能。然自股票選擇權推出以來，市場成交量並未如預期般蓬勃發展，便失去台灣期貨交易所推出股票選擇權之用意，不能使其充分發揮其多元之避險套利機能。多數人主觀認為，採用現金交割方式的衍生性金融商品容易受到人為操縱。一般而言，研究市場的人為操縱因子多以報酬波動率及到期日效應作為觀察指標，因此商品之交割方式與報酬波動率及到期日效應有一定之關聯。然而近來國外許多相關研究發現，採實物交割與現金交割，對股票選擇權的到期日效應並未產生差異，反而是透過結算制度的設計，可以有效降低人為操縱的機率。本研究旨在研究股票選擇權改採現金交割之可行性分析，研究到期日採現金交割是否就是增加人為操縱機率的主要因素，且到期日效應與到期交割方式是否又有絕對的關係？而根據文獻了解，到期日報酬波動率與受人為操縱之跡象是呈現正向關係。 / 因此本研究對指數期貨在到期日與非到期日時對指數現貨價格以及個股股價報酬波動率的影響程度進行實證分析，以報酬波動率之異常現象判斷是否有所謂到期日效應。 本研究實證結果指出，在台指期貨到期日報酬波動率和摩根台指期貨到期日的報酬波動率實證結果發現所有樣本在台指期貨到期日的報酬波動率都顯著高於摩根台指期貨到期日的報酬波動率。顯示台指期貨結算制度雖為到期日下一交易日開盤前十五分鐘個股成交量加權平均價結算，但並未有效降低異常報酬波動率的發生。根據國外研究結果發現，個股期貨能降低到期日效應之影響。此外，採實物交割與現金交割，對股票選擇權的到期日效應並未產生差異。為了降低到期日效應且提升市場的效率性，建議股票選擇權改為現金交割之外，尚可考慮開放個股期貨的交易。 / Taiwan Futures Exchange launched stock options on January 20, 2003, hoping to provide the market with more hedging and arbitraging opportunities. However, the trading volume does not grow as was expected. The low trading volume does not meet Taiwan Futures Exchange’s goal to provide the market with hedging and arbitraging mechanism. Most people think that derivatives applying cash settlement lead to manipulation. Researchers studying manipulations take the volatility of returns and expiration effects as the factors of their studies. However, some recent studies suggest applying cash settlement or physical settlement does not have much impact on expiration effects, while applying proper settlement system can reduce manipulation. / This research investigated the possibility of stock options applying cash settlement and examined the volatility of returns of stock indexes and stock prices during settlement and non-settlement days to determine if expiration effects exist. In this study, we found the volatilities of returns of all samples during TAIFEX settlement days are significantly higher than the volatilities of returns during SIMEX settlement days. All of our samples have significant higher volatilities of returns during TAIFEX settlement days and SIMEX settlement days except CMO, which does not have significant higher volatility of returns during SIMEX settlement days. Other researches point out the adopting of stock futures reduces the expiration effects. Furthermore, adopting cash settlement or physical settlement does have much impact on expiration effects. To decrease the expiration effect and to increase the effectiveness of the market, this study proposes the adoption of cash settlement and the launching of stock futures.

本文係利用高頻資料研究股票指數期貨的到期日效應，考量到中國的衍生性商品起步甚晚，相關研究不如台灣來的多，因此選取中國的滬深300股指期貨市場作為本研究的主題，希望能夠為後續有興趣的研究者提供參考。但是因為中國市場的資料取得不易，本文所使用的樣本資料只為期兩年，選取2010年4月16日到2012年4月20日的滬深300股指期貨的1分鐘高頻數據作為原始數據。 本文目的在於研究滬深300股指期貨經由考慮成交量、價格反轉以及波動度的到期日效應，實證結果發現在期貨到期日當天與隔一天的某些交易時段明顯存在著型0、型I與型II價格反轉，成交量檢驗指出，到期日成交量明顯大於非到期日成交量，波動度異常檢驗顯示，到期日收盤前五分鐘的波動度有異常放大的現象。本文的實證結果部分，利用模擬投資策略去檢驗價格反轉在經濟上是否有意義，發現價格反轉不只是在統計上顯著，同樣也是具有經濟意義的，但是把資料依據時間區分為前後兩部分並做檢驗之後也發現，這種經濟意義會隨著時間而呈現遞減的狀態。 / The central idea of this thesis is studying expiration effects of stock index futures. As we know, China stock index futures market, which is also known as CSI 300 Index futures market, is experiencing its early stage with fewer related studies comparing to Taiwan stock futures market. In order to provide research references for succeeding researchers interested in CSI 300 Index futures market. However, having difficulties collecting high frequency market data from CSI 300 Index futures market, we use only two years data from the beginning of CSI 300 Index futures market. The main purpose of this thesis is to study the expiration effect of CSI 300 Index futures by from three aspects, price reversals, volume effects and abnormal return volatility. The empirical results shows that type 0, type I and type II existed in several trading hours in both the expiration day and the next trading day. Second, it indicated that the trading volume in expiration days is significantly larger than in non-expiration days. Third, the empirical result also pointed out that magnified return volatilities existing in five minutes before market closes on the expiration day. Moreover, we used simulated investment strategies as analysis tools and found that price-reversal effect is significant on economical basis. However, we discovered that the level of these effects is declining gradually from the beginning to the end of data period.
