Abstract
Base on the stochastic nature of the rate,an explicit option pricing formula is obtained for European option.First of all,we derive the pricing formula for a riskless zero-coupon bond under the Vasicek mordel to enhance its accuracy,then we form a hedge portfolio consisting of the stock,the riskless bond,and the call to derive a stochastic differential equation,and solve its explicit solution.A numerical example is given for verifying the validity of the formula,and analyzing the effects of stochastic interest rate for European option pricing.
