Strategic Limits of Option Pricing

Abstract/Contents

Abstract
The market for option contracts relies on the ability to freely trade option contracts, and that the options themselves do not create strategic interactions between the market participants. In this paper, I show that a sufficiently complex option contract can create the possibility of strategic interactions, which makes the option unpriceable without knowing the identity of the option holders. I also identify the features of a contract that prevent such strategic interactions, and the implications for option pricing.
