Abstract

Firms usually hold several assets and liabilities that are not tradable separately, but tradable in aggregation as the firm’s equity, as first modeled by Rubinstein (1983) in his well-known displaced diffusion option pricing model with one risky and one riskless asset. When the Rubinstein model is extended to a firm with two risky assets, the standard riskless hedge argument cannot justify that the options on the firm’s equity can be priced by the risk-neutral valuation, because the two assets are not separately tradable. However, this paper shows that the aggregate tradability is likely to be sufficient for supporting the risk neutral option valuation.
