Abstract: | Using daily Swedish equity options data, an empirical analysis of some basic textbook properties for American options is performed. Several violations of these properties are found; call and put prices often move in the "wrong" direction compared with the stock price, call and put prices sometimes also increase or decrease simultaneously and option price changes are often larger than corresponding stock price changes. |
