The development and introduction of financial derivatives have great impact on modern finance. Option pricing theory has become a powerful tool to value and to understand these innovations. It is also an indispensable tool to calculate hedge ratios for risk measurement and management. On the one hand, the introduction of new financial derivatives has been blamed for making financial market more volatile and risky as evidenced in the financial markets of the USA and Japan, especially during the expiration of index futures and index options, On the other hand, the applicability of new pricing models to hedging strategies is essential in monitoring and managing option positions. This study tries to give some answers on first: whether the expiration of financial derivatives increases the volatility of the Hong Kong stock market; second: whether we can better hedge by straightly applying more elaborated option valuation models replacing the standard Black-Scholes model, which market participants commonly employed for hedging option positions. Part I of this article addresses the first question while Part II studies the second question. / Yung Hei Ming. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 62-09, Section: A, page: 3138. / Supervisor: Zhang Hua. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2001. / Includes bibliographical references. / Electronic reproduction.
